There's no place like home . . . For teacher Jenna McKnight, nothing spells "heartbreak" like finding her husband with somebody else--in her bed. It's clearly time to reinvent herself.

Rugby star Finn Douglas is just looking for a temporary nanny and housekeeper. Not a girlfriend, and definitely not a wife. He can't resist Jenna's cooking, it's true. Who knew he'd have so much trouble resisting her? He wants to do what's right for his kids.

From reviews of previous novels:"...a knack for quirky characters." (Kirkus)"...sparkles with sharp, clear, and occasionally earthy humor." (Booklist)"...A most entertaining microcosm, featuring standout characters, witty dialogue, and a clever story." (Library Journal)For single women, of "a certain age," on the dating scene and more ---Rose, living in a lopsided cottage in Cambridge, Massachusetts, two-and-a-half years into celibacy (but who’s counting?), decides to quit the writing biz and become a bartender. In a flash, celibacy is a memory as she begins an affair with the gorgeous instructor of her bar tending course, lands her first gig, and finds herself in a dangerous and seductive e-mail relationship with a man hiding behind the moniker Rabbitfish, whom she first spotted on an internet dating site. Not only is he handsome and witty, but he also seems to have the uncanny ability to read her mind. Is it surprising, then, that her hapless angel, Ralph, pops up, trying to warn her of....what exactly? Despite the fact that her most recent ex-husband has decided to become a Buddhist monk, Rose is dubious that angels even exist. Plus, she’s downright insulted that her angel is so, well, unattractive. Is she crazy or -- finally -- growing up? An unexpected event (let’s not call it a miracle) might bring Rose an answer to her prayers, the prayers of a skeptic, no less. Views: 35

Cover Blurb: After a car accident-what he considers a prank gone bad-pop star, Hunter Kennedy is forced to hide out with his aunt in small-town Colorado. He’s supposed to rest, heal his scars and attend high school in disguise while the press blows over. But he only wants to get back to work. Worse, the girl who’s been assigned to make him over into a geek is a major geek herself. Vere Roth is a chattering-pixie, a blushing tornado and a complete social disaster. He’s never met a girl who’s never-been-kissed, believes in romance and thinks Hunter is a ‘nice' guy. Funny thing is, Hunter is nice around Vere because she’s his first real friend. He also can’t seem to stop sharing his secrets or keep her out of his heart. Knowing he’d never deserve a girl as sweet as Vere, he resigns himself to the friend zone, and helps his new bestie with her own makeover. She tortures him daily for guy advice on how to snag her life-long crush. A guy Hunter thinks is totally wrong for Vere, and sadly, one who has taken note of Vere’s stunning transformation. When Vere asks her best friend for some kissing advice, Hunter can’t resist. And that's when things get way out of control.... Views: 35
