I am currently hard at work completing my third manuscript while searching for homes for my first two...
Alex Abrams has come to realize that playing papa's perfect lawyer and mama's darling debutante in an effort to win their love isn't going to get her what she wants out of life. Fueled with the motivation of her new goals, she sets out to put her new approach to life into action. Ditching her cheating, family-selected-boyfriend and doing some serious soul searching on the job front are easy enough starting points, but the one that snags her heart the most is, what she's supposed to do about Jason Caruthers? Jason Caruthers is Alex's hunky next-door neighbor, the man she truly wants. Alex and Jason have developed a rare and precious friendship, one that she's afraid to jeopardize. But a surprise visit and trip to the Caribbean with sexy Jason has her throwing caution to the wind…
Jason arrives in Atlanta to find Alex tipsy and flirty. Unaccustomed to this side of her and thrown by the news of her recent split, Jason decides to take advantage of her light mood. Inviting Alex along for a private cruise in the Caribbean seemed like a great idea to Jason Caruthers at the time. After all, Alex was healing from a recent break-up and the chemistry between them had him thoroughly intrigued. While getting a taste of Alex seemed like a good decision initially, Jason quickly realizes that it has only served to fire his sexual frustration to a burning pitch. He wants Alex. But Alex is special to him and he knows that she's not the type to get involved in a temporary romance. He is just as sure that he is not ready to give up his bachelor ways, nor more importantly capable of providing her with the wealth and lifestyle with which she was raised…
Can these two misguided souls find a way to put aside their hurts and fears long enough to give true love a chance?
At twenty-seven, the last thing Abby Lawson needs is a baby-sitter. Especially one that is tall, dark, and gorgeous. But a baby-sitter is exactly what her domineering father has arranged to oversee her work on the catalog shoot he hired her to photograph. Abby has enough problems with her nerves, which have already set off a series of near-disasters. How in the world is she going to manage one steady shot, much less an entire catalog full with Mr. Sexy standing so close to her?
Riley Morgan is no stranger to unique projects. As a well renowned advertising executive, he has managed to turn around the images of some of the most troubled corporations in the world. But being hired by Abby's father to turn around her klutzy, frumpy image in time for her father's company gala is unique for even him. Further complicating the situation is Mr. Lawson's insistence that Riley's mission remain top secret, disguised as his overseeing the catalog shoot.
Riley manages to successfully transform Abby. It wasn't easy, since she seemed bound to injure him or herself in the process. The problem is that somewhere along the way, her quirks became charming and her "accidents" endearing. And now he knows he is headed for disaster because when Abby learns of his deception, he discovers his hardest challenge yet is proving he loves her.
