What She Deserves

2009

Then: Geeky science nerd. Now: Most Likely to Fall in Love! At seventeen Winifred Sampson was sure of three things. She was a nerd, she hated Peter Duvall, and her crush on the quarterback would never be reciprocated. Ten years later, she can safely revise two of those constants. She s a sexy, self-confident woman, more than woman enough to seduce a former high school football player. She doesn t spare a thought for that turkey Peter until she sees him at the reunion. My, how he s grown! Peter never cared that he and Winnie were the class nerds. So they were smart. So they didn t have dates. Big deal. Now they re both smart and successful. She was always his fantasy girl, and he s decided to make a few of his own dreams come true in the most carnal way possible. All he has to do is convince her he s graduated with honors from dud to stud."

Holiday on Ice

2011

Travel Queen Survival Tip #23: If you get stuck in an ice storm, find a hot guy to keep you toasty. Travel agent Darcy Burkell has a secret. She doesn't precisely jet around the world despite what’s implied in her popular newsletter about vacation destinations. When she hires photographer James Jones to illustrate her stories, they become close cyber-friends, comparing notes on exotic locales, vacation spots, and much more. James is sure that Darcy is the woman for him—someone who’ll travel with him instead of expecting him to stay home all the time. Putting his ideas into action, James shows up at Darcy’s office unannounced and suggests they take a holiday trip together. Darcy is too embarrassed to admit her phobia and turns him down flat. She knows what kind of woman he wants, and she’s not it. But her resolve is tested when she and James become gridlocked by an ice storm. Impassable roads force them to spend hours together in his vehicle…shivering. And cuddling. But will the fires still burn between them after Darcy confesses her big secret? Warning: This title contains dreadful weather, a medium-sized misunderstanding, jelly beans that taste like boogers and coitus interruptus by redneckus.
