MR. BAD TIMING Name: Police chief Dan Kingman Turn-ons: Helping troubled kids get back on track; rescuing women in trouble Turn-offs: Stubborn, uptight women" who have to plan every detail of their lives Favorite Romantic Interlude: Spontaneous...sexy...fun When I was called to investigate the scene of a break-in, I never expected to uncover a sultry spitfire like Kate O'Sullivan. She was one good-looking eyeful, but she made it clear she had her life mapped out and her plans didn't include me. Well, I think it's about time someone taught little Miss Inflexible that the best-laid plans often go astray!

MR. MARRIAGE-PHOBIC Name: Connor Devlin Turn-ons: Independent, sexy women Turn-offs: Any female looking for a ring on her third finger, left hand! Favorite Romantic Interlude: Doesn't involve a single thought about commitment All of a sudden I can't keep my mind—or my hands!—off Andie Spencer. Sure, she's one beautiful woman, but I've known her for years, and people who are "just friends" shouldn't act this way. But let me tell you, when I look at her, friendship is the last thing on my mind! Why, it's enough to make me forget my vow to dump any woman who even makes me think about marriage.... CENTERFOLDS: They're sexy, they're determined, they're trouble with a capital T!

MR. SENSIBLE Name: Lucas McCall Turn-ons: Champagne, mangos in the morning and a curvy, tanned redhead Turn-offs: Dizzy women looking for their "MRS." Favorite Romantic Interlude: Has no strings attached One word comes to mind when I think of Megan Murphy—infuriating! I hire the lady to do a normal job, and all she works on is irritating me by claiming she has some very unusual traits. She says she can read minds, but if Megan knew what I was really thinking then this "strictly business" arrangement would be out the door. CENTERFOLDS: They're sexy, they're determined, they're trouble with a capital T!

MR. KNOW-IT-ALL Name: Thomas Kane Turn-ons: Being in charge Turn-offs: Do-good socialites Favorite Romantic Interlude: Turning a lesson in self-defense into a lesson in seduction Allison Westcott makes a big deal about her volunteer work but what does she know about foster homes? I know plenty, and I learned it all firsthand. Still, Allison's rich daddy didn't hire me to give her job pointers, or to seduce her. All I have to do is protect his precious daughter from kidnappers and keep my hands to myself. Should be a cinch CENTERFOLDS: They're sexy, they're determined, they're trouble with a capital T!

MR. MACHO Name: Jake Powers Turn-ons: Sleek, gorgeous women—like Liana Malone Turn-offs: Uptight, prissy women—like Liana Malone Favorite Romantic Interlude: Wine, candlelight, music—and Liana Malone Okay, so stressed-out lady engineers aren't my type and Liana Malone only entered the raffle because she thought she might win a household appliance. Now she's stuck with me, her own personal trainer, for a month. And when she isn't busy reminding me that bodybuilding "Neanderthals" aren't her type, she's pretty darn appealing. All I have to do is teach her how to relax. And I've got one particular tension-relieving "exercise" in mind. CENTERFOLDS: They're sexy, they're determined, they're trouble with a capital T!
