"Bride Needs Groom "
 |
From Warner Forever
October 2005
ISBN:
0-446-61454-8
Things to do before Grandpa Junie turns eighty-five…and I’m disinherited:
1. Find a guy to marry (preferably a stranger of my own choosing, not Grandpa’s)
2. Tell the groom it’s only temporary (and platonic, naturally)
3. Tie the knot asap!
4. Untie the knot asap!
Queens-born-and-bred Mia Calogera needs a husband—like yesterday. Eloping with her Internet pen-pal Derek sounds like a plan. Which is why Mia’s dressed in a to-die-for beaded gown and white satin shoes, headed for the Chapel of Luv in Vegas.
Advertising dynamo Dominic Chickalini has vowed to be the last single man standing. Then he spies the gorgeous bride-to-be in the aisle seat of the plane, haloed in a sunbeam. The sexual sparks fly, but this woman’s already spoken for. Or is she? When Mia’s wedding plans go south, she makes Dom an offer that’s hard to refuse. All Dom has to do is say yes. It’s not like it’s forever. It’s not like they’re even in love. So why does her heart pound at the thought of looking into his eyes and saying “I do?”

From the moment she looks into his eyes she feels like she's experiencing a true heavenly intervention-as two people from totally different worlds begin to make the most passionate connection of all...
"Mike, Mike and Me"

From Red Dress Ink
January 2005
ISBN:
0-373-89507-0
Once upon a time in the 1980s, a girl named Beau was torn between two Mikes: did she prefer her high-school sweetheart or the sexy stranger she'd picked up in an airport bar? One she eventually married, the other she left behind (and forgot all about, or tried to, anyway).
But which Mike did she choose? This delightful tale by the bestselling author of Slightly Single and Slightly Settled alternates between the story of Beau's summer of Mikes and the outcome fifteen years later…without giving away which Mike ended up where — in Beau's marriage bed or in her memory.
In "The present" chapters, the former swinging single lives in the 'burbs with a childbirth-traumatized body, an increasingly distant husband and a sad sack maid who isn't much for cleaning. When out of the blue the Mike-not-taken sends her a flirty e-mail, she suddenly finds herself back to square one, trying to decide which man is the Mike of her dreams.

Anthology with Lynn Messina and Daniella Brodsky
It's called Sundae's, and of course it's the best spot in Manhattan for a sinfully delicious ice cream sundae. And it's where three young women come to soothe their troubles, spark their creativity, ponder their priorities...and treat themselves to a little taste of heaven. Lucky in friendship, not always so lucky in love, these women know that just a few spoonfuls of ice cream can provide relief from a date gone sour or a workday from hell. But before they can say "extra whipped cream," they're going to discover that when you're true to your own tastes, life itself can be pretty sweet too-and that making their dreams come true is the real cherry on top...
