Write It Up


Welcome to alternative dating...the tenth circle of hell!

It started simply enough. The editor of Tess Magazine demanded an assignment about dating practices for the urban set. Something fun. Something sexy.
Something that the three women working on the assignment could research and really get into.

Suddenly, Julia is smitten with a stranger she meets while speed dating, Samantha's coffeehouse dating research is less engaging than the naughty e-mails she's been getting from her pen pal in Italy and Abby is busy dealing with her new roommate, an Irish photographer who looks like sex in pants. Needless to say, there's not much work getting done!

So how do you write about relationships when your own love life has been less than noteworthy? Until now...

A Pinch Of Cool


When trend-spotter and supreme-style-guru Mya Strano is called in to rescue her mother’s cooking show from ratings oblivion, what she has in mind is a little seasoning to heighten the taste. That’s the plan. Until she discovers that it’s her childhood nemesis, Eric Baldini, whom she’s up against. He’s got a few ideas of his own that sound like a recipe for disaster in her expert opinion. And the two of them in the same kitchen? Never! Still, she’s noticed that for someone who really works at being anti-hip, this guy has a way of making her divinely hot. Which makes him so cool that this fashionista is actually toying with the idea of trading in her designer gear for oven mitts and an apron.… Ouch!

When all else fails…marry him!
That’s what it’s going to take to finally bust the bad luck surrounding Cate Falco’s love life.

Now Rudy Bellafini, the original jilter, is back in town, and it’s Cate’s turn to right this wrong, but does she have the cannolis to do it?

Maybe.

But Cate’s large Italian family decides to get involved, and with that family, it means danger is on the way. Then Cate begins to wonder…is getting Rudy to the altar and then jilting him the way to even up the score? Perhaps the best revenge might come with a real wedding….

With reassurances to everyone, including her vanilla-pudding-cup fiancé, she vows to return before she has to say, “I do.” Lucy’s certain she’ll have everything sorted out in no time. But then her drop-dead due dates are laid to waste by the wacky staff and the tempting restaurant owner next door. The one who makes her think there’s more to life than deadlines and rules.
