Wow, What A Man.
Irish watched Kyle’s long-legged gait as he walked away from her. The man was as handsome as buttered sin. She’d never met anyone in her life who oozed such sex appeal. And from the little that they had talked, she felt certain he would be lots of fun to be with.
He probably had everything a woman could ask for. Except money.
Why is it, if it’s just as easy to love a rich man as a poor one, that I’m always attracted to the ones who don’t have two nickels to rub together?
Irish sighed. She couldn’t afford to let herself get sidetracked. Her plans were made; her bank account was committed. She was out to snare a millionaire.
And it was a crying shame that she was so captivated by Kyle Rutledge.
Dear Reader,
There’s something for everyone this month! Brides, babies and cowboys...but also humor, sensuality...and delicious love stories (some without a baby in sight!).
There’s nothing as wonderful as a new book from Barbara Boswell, and this month we have a MAN OF THE MONTH written by this talented author. Who’s the Boss? is a very sexy, delightfully funny love story. As always, Barbara not only creates a masterful hero and smart-as-a-whip heroine, she also makes her secondary characters come alive!
When a pregnant woman gets stuck in a traffic jam she does the only thing she can do—talks a handsome hunk into giving her a ride to the hospital on his motorcycle in Leanne Banks’s latest, The Troublemaker Bride.
Have you ever wanted to marry a millionaire? Well, heroine Irish Ellison plans on finding a man with money in One Ticket to Texas by Jan Hudson. A single momto-be gets a new life in Paula Detmer Riggs’s emotional and heartwarming Daddy by Accident. And a woman with a “bad reputation” finds unexpected romance in Barbara McMahon’s Boss Lady and the Hired Hand.
Going to your high-school reunion is bad enough. But what if you were voted “Most likely to succeed”...but your success at love has been fleeting? Well, that’s just what happens in Susan Connell’s How To Succeed at Love.
So read...and enjoy!

Prologue
“In your dreams, Buster!” Irish Ellison slammed the front door and stalked back to the den of the Foggy Bottom town house where her two roommates sat watching TV. “Men,” she groused, toeing off her high heels and plopping down on the couch next to Olivia.
“I take it that you and the senator’s staffer are having some problems,” Olivia said, offering Irish the popcorn bowl.
“You take right.” She plunged her hand into the buttery kernels and popped a few in her mouth. “The jerk.”
“What’s wrong?” Kim asked. “Gavin seemed very nice. I thought the two of you had something going.”
“I thought so, too—untit he hit me up for a loan. Can you believe it? The skunk takes me to a couple of embassy parties, wines and dines me with free booze and free food, and then tries to borrow money from me.”
Kim’s eyes grew even larger behind her thick glasses. “He didn’t?”
“He did. He’s behind on his alimony.”
“I didn’t even know that Gavin had been married,” Olivia said.
“Neither did I.” Irish propped her feet on the coffee table. “Until tonight. Seems that he’s been married not once, but twice, and he has four kids. Why do I always end up with somebody else’s rejects? You’re the psychologist, Olivia. What’s my problem?”
Olivia, the oldest of the three—and considered the wisest—raised her brows at the former model who had legs
