The last thing Kate feels like doing is acting the happy bridesmaid at her friend's wedding. Apart from the vile orange dress, watching Jennifer marry her ex-boyfriend hardly qualifies as fun. While the other bridesmaids receive jewelry from the bride, Kate gets a special gift - a GI Joe doll in denim shorts. A unlikely coincidence, since that was exactly what Pete had been wearing when he met Jennifer and decided he preferred her to Kate. The moment Kate gets home, she throws the doll in the closet and slams the door, never suspecting her unspoken wish could take on a life of its own. In this clever and original story, excerpted from the Men in Shorts anthology, wishes and desires, friendship and passion are explored with very sexy results!

Author · 80 books
Barbara Elsborg lives in Kent in the south of England. She always wanted to be a spy, but having confessed to everyone without them even resorting to torture, she decided it was not for her. Volcanology scorched her feet. A morbid fear of sharks put paid to marine biology. So instead, she spent several years successfully selling cyanide. After dragging up two rotten, ungrateful children and frustrating her sexy, devoted, wonderful husband (who can now stop twisting her arm) she finally has time to conduct an affair with an electrifying plugged-in male, her laptop. Her books feature quirky heroines and bad boys, and she hopes they are as much fun to read as they are to write.
