"The Love stories vary from the unusual to plot
favorites... In the exuberant story "Falling for
You" by Deborah Shelley the hero falls for Tovah
Levy when he sees her scantily dressed to play Queen
Esther on Purim. They celebrate love and provide high-level
entertainment, plus they're the perfect length to read
during lunch or coffee break."

Talk About Love
Love at first citation…
Stephanie knows about the law,
considering her four older brothers are 4 of Phoenix's
finest policemen— four good reasons to get out on
her own. A position as head librarian in the small town
of River's Edge is just what she needs. When the town's
Chief of Police pulls her over for speeding, Stephanie
finds herself back in the arms of the law. She just never
expected those arms to look so good.
Police Chief Scott Forrest
is 6 feet of badge-wearing brawn, who takes his job as
town guardian very seriously. But when he discovers that
the sexiest moving violation on record is also his new
neighbor, he doesn't know whether to throw the book at
her or convince her that romance is the ticket.

It's in His Kiss
Just like a man…
When architect Patrick Godwin asked to see
the man in charge of J.S. construction he was not expecting
a woman. Clearly, Jaqueline Santiago, who has a face like
an angel and an attitude that can freeze the desert sun,
is not amused by his mistake. Patrick's first instinct
is to take the next plane back to the east coast, but
if he wants to win his industry's most prestigious design
award he is stuck for the next 6 months in the blazing
Phoenix sun with the ice queen herself.
Having just been dumped by her two-timing
fiancé, ambitious Jacki is wary about men—all
men. But Patrick is handsome, and Jacki is wondering if
she's been too hasty in swearing off men and marriage. |

needs to loose a few pounds. Enter Pure Heart Catering
and its CEO, Zack Ferrera. His gourmet cooking is temptation
itself, and so is his noticeably delicious body… Delighted by Tess's luscious
curves yet determined to change her decadent eating habits,
Zack has his work cut out for him, especially since she
has vowed never to forgive him for throwing out all her
junk food. But he knows that a little spice never hurt

One Starry Night
Up in the heavens

psychic, and she knows that astronomer Charles O'Ryan
is the man for her. It is written in the stars—they
are meant to be together. Even if Charles is a distinguished
scientist who does not believe in the ancient art of astrology,
he can't fight fate.
Charles, the ever-practical scientist, fell
in love the moment he spotted Cassie's heavenly body through
his telescope. Cassie is a vision of loveliness…
intuitive, sensitive, and uncannily able to predict what
will be. And Charles can't resist her. |
