2 primary works
Book 15
After busting her butt as an ad exec-and forsaking everything but peanut-butter cups-workaholic Anna Simmons finds herself out of a job. It's only for six months, of course, and the forced sabbatical should teach Anna work/life balance (as in less work, more life).
But Anna can't take it. She plots the most important campaign of her career-the pretend balanced life. And she'll enlist her oh-so-hot neighbor Sam Drynan to play her fake boyfriend-it's the perfect way to convince her boss she's ready to get back in the boardroom ahead of schedule!
So what happens when the make-believe make-out sessions start to feel anything but fake? And instead of sneaking into the office-she's counting the hours till she's free?
Book 37
A smart girl would help herself first
Slaving over a hot stove had taught Marie Simmons a thing or two-like not letting another cook steal her thunder! If it took her last chocolate chip (okay, second to last-a girl can't give away all the chocolate!) she had to find some way to foil Van MacAllister-a gourmet's flavor du jour-her new co-host on a cooking show. With some careful planning the only sizzle the audience would see would be from the steak, not the hunk.
Of course, she feels a soupgon of guilt at first because he really is a talented chef. And by the time they get to the appetizers it finally dawns on her that the, um, "to-die-for dish" on their show just might be the man himself!
