USA Today bestselling author Patti Berg started writing in fifth grade. Her first project became a play that she and a couple of friends produced as a puppet show for hospitalized children. As she matured, Patti began writing romance novels. Romantic Times has lauded her as “an exceptional voice in the field of romantic fiction.”
In 1994, after moving with her family to Idaho, Patti began writing inspirational women’s fiction for Guideposts. However, she retains a backlog of mystery-romance ideas, which she expects will eventually be available as eBooks. Patti’s 1991 Avon romance novel Born to Be Wild tops today’s Buffet. It’s an enjoyable, charming and steamy story.
When she’s not writing, Patti enjoys reading mysteries and historical-romance books. “If I see the word “pirate” on the cover of a book, I’m hooked,” she says.

Born to Be Wild
Author: Patti Berg
Take a Walk on the Wilde Side …
High society wedding planner Lauren Remington is determined to prove her family wrong and make a success of her business, but a last minute disaster brings a glorious end to all her grand plans. Desperate for help, her only hope is Max Wilde, a man whose rugged, leather-clad body is almost as dangerous as his sleek black Harley. Max may be everything Lauren’s mother warned her about, but desperate times call for desperate measures… providing she can convince him to help her out.
Max isn’t sure why he agreed to help save Lauren’s shapely derriere, especially when one tilt of her blue-blooded nose is enough to get his back up. There’s just something about the way Lauren’s curvy body snuggles up against his that feels right, and he’d kill to see her out of her Chanel suit and into tight red leather. Not only that, but he can’t help but admire the way she doesn’t shy away from his foster kids and their rough-and-tumble friends. Still, Max knows that his wrong-side-of-the-tracks background could never fit in Lauren’s high society world… but somewhere deep behind the lady lies a woman born to be wild.
