Breezy and carefree in style, It Only Happens in Spring explores the comic side of villainy.  

A New York starlet in the 1990's - finding herself menacingly past her due date --  heads up to the mayor's mansion every Wednesday morning.  That's when young Ashley Burroughs cleans the pool, getting it ready for summer and the steady stream of visitors that Maersk Lloyd, the city's party-mad mayor, uses to entertain his 'guests'.  Mayor Lloyd is away every spring at the annual mayoral conferences, so Sutton takes advantage and scores with Ashley.

Unfortunately, Millicent Folger -- Sutton's former colleague and now rival -- also covets Ashley's charms, and her interference puts her and Millicent on the rocks, so Millicent devises a way to get back at Sutton. 

But revenge is only the beginning of It Happens Only in Spring.  Follow Glenna Pound's hilarious foray into satirical romance, as unscrupulous agents, Page Three journalists who will stop at nothing to get a story, Grant, the ex-husband, Gunner, the ex- choreographer, and the rest of the wacky crew tear up the Big Apple, trying to save, or  destroy, what Sutton and Ashley have worked so hard to secure.  

No medieval romance here -- just savvy, witty dialogue and contemporary characters.

"So, let me get this straight. You stomped all over his paperwork?" She started. "Not intentionally, but yes," I confirmed it. "Threw a drink in his face?" She added. "Expensive red wine." I described. "Rammed into his car with yours deliberately?" she counted on her third finger. "Um...I'm not proud of that one," I said cringing. "And called him offensive names?" She ended the list and I winced. "Twice." I specified. "And you're still alive?" She blinked, looking genuinely surprised. "Geez, don't be dramatic or anything..." I frowned at her hyperbolic statement. "Maybe he's keeping you around to get revenge." She suggested. Possible. I wouldn't put it past him. "I didn't know alright!" I exclaimed. "Let's hope that excuse is acceptable.." She was merely amused. "Working with my new boss is going to be a piece of work." ** Synopsis: When the CEO of Signature Heights: Jensen Black, and a stubborn employee: Alexandra Brook, clash, it's a battle of wits & a war of perseverance.
