As a teen she fell in love with Harlequin novels and imagined her life would turn out just like the heroines' on the page: That shy guy she had a crush on wouldn't just take her out-he'd sweep her off her feet with witty banter, quiet charm, and a secret life as a rock star. Not exactly her reality, but Patience kept reading books that fed her dreams.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYears later she moved to New York City and found her dream job, editing romances for Harlequin. Every day, her romantic fantasies came true-on the page. Patience was an expert when it came to fictional love stories-editing amazing books, she learned everything she could about the romance business. But her dating life remained uninspired. She nearly gave up on love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen one day a real-life chance at romance made her wonder if what she'd been writing and editing all those years might be true.
