I
always get the math wrong.
Is the third time the charm? Because I can think of three good reasons
not to let Nick Sullivan back into my life.
FIRST, I got over my infatuation with him - cold turkey. So what did
he have to offer anyway? Mystery? Adventure? A sexy grin and a killer
sense of humor? All of the above, if I think about it. Which I don’t.
Ever.
SECOND, he had the nerve to come back! After fifteen years, he shows
up looking (better than ever) for a place to hide, with a story about
being framed for murder. Only problem is, there’s no corpse. As
if I’d fall for that old line...
THIRD, I’m now old enough to know better - and smart enough not
to be seduced all over again by the warmth in his eyes. I should give
him the boot. But it is murder. And he does need a place to stay. This
time it’s strictly business. Nothing personal. Just harboring
a fugitive. For old times’ sake. And just maybe to satisfy my
own craving for a little adventure...
So what does that add up to?
THIRD TIME LUCKY.

Two sisters. One disaster.
First things first: I’m the bad twin. While my sister, Marcia,
has the perfect family in the perfect suburb, I’ve been making
my living as an Internet advice columnist and designing Web sites in
my downtown loft. I always thought I had the right answer - and hair
color - for any occasion. That is, until Marcia ran up loads of debt
and ran out on her husband and kids, and I was left helping to pick
up the pieces.
Her husband, James, is a lawyer who I hate on principle alone. But for
a guy who’s just lost his job, his marriage, and his expensive
toys, he’s keeping it together - and making me rethink my feelings
toward him. It’s not that he’s traded in his conservative
suits for sexy jeans. It’s that he’s not giving up what’s
important to him, and oh baby, I’m a sucker for a guy who hangs
tough.
That doesn’t mean I’m ready to step into Marcia’s
designer shoes now that she’s gone AWOL. And it doesn’t
mean I’m going to fall for James’s easy charm...not again,
anyhow. Besides, I’ve had a lifelong policy of not being mistaken
for my twin and I’m not backing down on that one now - no matter
how convenient it might be for a certain sexy (and persuasive) man...

Can
you know what you want before you have it?
Or do you have to lose it to know for sure?
Mild-mannered Matt Coxwell has finally found something worth fighting
for. In fact, it's only after he's left his marriage that he realizes
he hasn't
fought this hard for anything since he fell like a ton of bricks for
his wife Leslie.
How did their marriage shift from idyllic into idle? And is there any
way back?
Leslie Coxwell, long rumored to be the most organized working mother
alive, is suddenly having a tough time coping. Her job's in jeopardy,
her teenage daughter has attitude to spare (well, that's not new), and
her formidable mother-in-law has moved in unexpectedly...with two very
large poodles. She could juggle it all with the right motivation. Unfortunately
her husband,
Matt — the motivation for everything Leslie has ever done —
turned into a sexy enigmatic stranger right before he walked out the
door.
Even better, he's gone to stay with his free-spirited ex-fiancé,
the one woman who makes Leslie feel as sexy as dirty dishwater.
The only good news is that Leslie still has the greatest lingerie collection
known to womankind and she's prepared to use it.
After all, to give her marriage one more chance, to take the chance
on falling in love one more time, she'll need all the support she can
get...

Some
people will do anything for true love —
even if they have to fake it.
Jen Maitland had no use for handsome guys with easy charm — until
she met Zach. He's the perfect fake date to end her mother's matchmaking
scheme before it starts. Besides, he'd probably just use her and leave
her like her ex-fiancé did. At least that's what Jen tells herself.
The only problem is that Zach isn't as predictable as he appears...
Zach Coxwell hates commitment, but loves a challenge. Like the pretty
bar waitress who turned him down flat for a date — only to invite
him to her family's Thanksgiving dinner. Zach knows he can make Jen smile
— and he's betting that he can unravel her mysteries — even
if he has to do it over candied yams.
A tofu turkey, a sister who threatens to have Zach's love-child, the untimely
appearance of a knitted avocado — and Zach's discovery of her real
motive — combine to turn Thanksgiving dinner into Jen's worst nightmare.
Zach, on the other hand, has the time of his life.
And when he makes Jen smile, he finally finds a commitment he's willing
to make...but persuading Jen to believe him will take everything he's
got.
