I'm Gonna Make You Love Me [Paperback]

Claire Melbourne is a steely newspaper editor whos just lost the biggest scoop of her career, thanks to her na?ve interns mistake. Firing the young Ellie Kirkland for the offense was a no-brainer.

But when fate brings the two women together again, Claire finds herself questioning everything she thought she wasespecially her cynical, take-no-prisoners approach to life. When shes not breaking stories or breaking in reporters, Claires one outlet is to lose herself in Motown music and in the seat of a cheerful antique Mustang. But lose herself to the much younger, far-too-nice Ellie? Theres no breaking news there. Nope. Thats a story that needs to be spiked before it ever sees print.

Ellie Kirkland is at loose endsand not for the first time. Resistant to following the path her parents insist on, shes been trying out careers like shes trying on outfits at Banana Republic. Now that her dream of being a journalist is over, Ellie must begin again. And the woman who crushed that very dream is the very woman who just might hold the key to Ellies future.Readers love the consistent, fresh stories from debut and veteran pens that Bella Books produces.
