Polly writes chick lit and her debut novel is a worldwide bestseller. However, something strange starts to happen when she gets back from an international book tour. Polly finds that instead of art imitating life, her life starts to imitate art - or rather, her novel.
She arrives home to find her husband in the arms of the maid. Wasn't that in Chapter Three of her book, Happily Ever After?
Her best friend is having an affair with her husband, too, and is pregnant! Isn't that in Chapter Four?
Then she meets a bronzed Greek and embarks on a passionate love affair. Wasn't that in Chapter Seven?
Will anyone believe her life is mirroring her novel? Can she prevent the ultimate tragedy or must the book play out, precisely as she wrote it, to the bitter end?
Her agent recommends that Polly go and live Happily Ever After on the proceeds of her book, and keep away from drama!

Unexpected
For recent law school grad Charlotte Maxwell, real life has never been so good. On a post-graduation vacation with her best friend, the last thing Charlie is thinking about is meeting anyone: all she's looking to do is eat, drink, and get some sun (although not necessarily in that order). After three stressful years of focusing on school, Charlie's long overdue for some relaxation and she intends on maximizing every moment of this trip...by doing absolutely nothing. What she doesn't expect on her perfect vacation is to meet the perfect guy. Alex is smart, funny, and handsome. Despite their different backgrounds - Charlie is from a Midwestern middle class family while Alex is a wealthy Brit - their chemistry is undeniable. Charlie's not exactly the vacation fling kind of girl, but figures she can make an exception in Alex's case. But is Alex really too good to be true? What if the only souvenir Charlie brings back from her vacation is a broken heart? xoxo StephComplete

His Lingering Touch
My heart was pounding in my chest so hard that I thought it was going to rip out any minute now as I stared back at the man I thought I had once loved with all my heart. Pain burst through me. He still looked the same except his gorgeous blue eyes that once held a mischief glint in them now were dark and empty. "Jordan...Jordan Raine," Jason breathed, "all these years I've been searching for you and now here you are..." I gulped and tightened my grip on Ariel's small hand as he took in my features and then his eyes slowly travelled down to the little girl who was eating her ice-cream as if nothing was wrong. I needed to get out of here before this volcano erupts. "Look it was nice seeing you again Jason, but I've got somewhere to be-" I was cut off as arms wrapped around my waist and I was pulled back into a hard chest, "Baby, there is no chance I am letting you go this time, I've searched too hard and long for you." Jordan Raine's life was as normal as any university student's life could get until a man with blue piercing eyes comes waltzing into her life or more like classroom and turns her average life into a screaming roller coaster ride and then all of a sudden the rails are breaking and she's flying off head first into the ground. They say love only happens once but what if the first time was because fate was being a moody bitch on her period? Warning: Rated R for language and sexual content.
