Lacey has dreamed of opening a restaurant for years - but first, she needs a loan. When Garrett Halifax, her roommate's Harvard-educated brother, offers to help her clean up her appearance and manner to impress the bank manager, she jumps at the chance. She makes mistake after mistake, and perhaps the biggest mistake is falling for sexy Garret.
This modern retelling of My Fair Lady offers all the humor of the original movie with a splash of romance thrown in.
Jojo Halifax, Lacey's roommate, believes that winning Echo Ridge's float competition is just what her fledgling art career needs. And if that means giving her ex-boyfriend, Anthony, a second chance so she can be a designer on his team, well, she's willing to make the sacrifice. But when a lost bet leads to a blind date with her brother's friend, Wyatt, she begins to have second thoughts about second chances. Wyatt is handsome and charming and just might have been paid to make her forget about Anthony. Is falling for his charm worth the risk or should she take Anthony back again?
Romantic comedy lovers will eat these two novellas up!
Janette Rallison is old. Don’t ask how old, because it isn’t polite. Let’s just say she’s older than she’d like to be and leave it at that.
Janette lives in Chandler, Arizona with her husband, five children and enough cats to classify her as “an eccentric cat lady.” She did not do this on purpose. (The cats, that is; she had the children on purpose.) Every single one of the felines showed up on its own and refuses to leave. Not even the family’s fearless little Westie dog can drive them off.
Since Janette has five children and deadlines to write books, she doesn’t have much time left over for hobbies. But since this is the internet and you can’t actually check up to see if anything on this site is true, let’s just say she enjoys dancing, scuba diving, horse back riding and long talks with Orlando Bloom. (Well, I never said he answers back.)
Read an Excerpt
“You
want me to seduce your sister?” Wyatt Nelson sat in front of his laptop,
staring at the video feed of Garrett, his old roommate. Had Wyatt heard him
right? Maybe the internet had glitched and he’d misunderstood the request.
Asking Wyatt to go out on a blind date with his sister was one thing; asking
for seduction was something completely different.
Garrett
winced at the question. He usually looked like the poster child for a Harvard
graduate: clean-cut, designer suit, born for high-powered business meetings.
Now his tie was loose and his blond hair tousled, as though he’d been raking
his fingers through it. “I don’t actually mean seduce seduce her. Not that.
I was thinking more along the lines of just luring her away from her idiot
boyfriend.”
Wyatt
raised an eyebrow. Garrett had to be kidding. He was trying to set him up with
someone who was already in a relationship? “So, what you’re saying is you want
me to seduce your sister, who happens to be in love with another guy?”
Garrett
waved his hand at Wyatt. “Shouldn’t be that hard. You’re a pro at romance. Half
the girls at Harvard were in love with you. You must have some method to make
them fall for you.”
Incredible.
If Wyatt hadn’t already been friends with Garrett, he would have thought the
guy was a colossal jerk. But he knew Garrett better than that. He was blunt and
sometimes brash, but not completely unfeeling. “Girls like me because I’m a
nice guy. The kind that doesn’t blatantly use people—you know, like trying to
make them fall in love with me just because their brother doesn’t like their
boyfriend.”
Garrett
leaned back in his chair. “Hey, use whatever methods work for you. All I want
is Jojo to be happily away from the influence of Anthony. ”
