New readers and longtime fans: Don''t miss this newest success." They say all''s fair in love and music... I say life would be a lot fairer if I wasn''t so wildly attracted to the man I''m spending all my days with, who''s decidedly off-limits. But then again, I can''t technically complain—I have a Grammy, a hit album, and a job most people would be envious of—I''m a rock star. What I haven''t had in years is a hot date. The dating drought isn''t because I''m a single mom. It''s because I have a little itty-bitty issue with trust because of how my marriage imploded. Matthew is determined to break down my walls, and it sure doesn''t hurt that he''s British, witty, and far too tempting. He''s also the toughest music journalist out there, and he''s interviewing me for an in-depth article. The trouble is, I want to get in-depth with him, and the more time we spend together, the more tempted we both are to cross lines that shouldn''t be crossed.

Too bad it turns out his quirks are my quirks, and his love affair with New York matches mine. And as we spend our days together, I discover something else that feels like a cruel twist of fate -- I''m falling for this naughty prince charming, and that''s not an ending I can write to our story.

Am I fake dating my best friend? Hear me out... So I''m throwing myself a breakup party, a glittery fete where I envision I''ll lift a glass and celebrate being free and single again. What I actually do: Drink too much champagne and blurt out to my best guy friend that I''d really like to get back on the horse. But what I truly don''t expect is Carter''s answer - he volunteers as tribute. With his sinful brown eyes and too-good-to-be-true body it''d be no hardship for me to say yes, though I certainly don''t want him to feel obligated to, um, service me, just because my failed, loveless marriage was a s-e-x desert. But since the charming and confident pro football star owes five public dates to his dating app sponsor, we make a deal to help each other out. Pretty soon, our public how to date lessons turn into, ahem, very private ones. And I''m a star student, graduating quickly from flirty banter and lingering looks to toe-curling, sheet-grabbing, mind-blowing hours of physical education. The problem? Turns out learning to date again feels a lot like the real thing. Can our friendship withstand all these late-night bedroom sessions? Especially since I''m suddenly longing for my best friend and there''s nothing fake about my feelings...

The moment I run into the woman I once loved madly, I''ve got one goal and one goal only--a second chance. The plan? Go big or go home. Fine, getting into my birthday suit at my ex-girlfriend''s place of work might not seem like the best way to win her heart again. But trust me on this count--she always liked me best without any clothes on. And you''ve got to play to your strengths when you''re fighting an uphill battle. I''m prepared to fight hard for her because sometimes you need a second chance at first love. He''s the one who got away . . . The nerve of Tyler Nichols to reappear like that at my job, showing off his rock-hard body that drove me wild far too many nights. That man with his knowing grin and mischievous eyes is nothing but a cocky jerk to saunter back into my life. Except, what if he''s not. . . ? I''ve tried like hell to forget him, but maybe I''m cursed to remember the guy I fell madly in love with eight years ago. Lord knows I''m not over him, so what''s the harm in giving him a week to prove he''s changed in the ways that matter? After all, how do you resist THE HOT ONE?

Celebrity photographer and college senior Jess Leighton desperately needs to crash the wedding of the year. Snapping just one pic of the A-list Hollywood couple tying the knot will pay her way through grad school. But with security tighter than the bride-to-be''s corset, she''ll need more than her camera and smarts, she''ll need help from her biggest rival--hot, British, motorcycle-riding William Harrigan, whose sexy accent can melt the panties off any woman. He''s the last person Jess should trust, but he''s her only ticket in. William Harrigan wants one thing - to stay in L.A. past college graduation. With a student visa set to expire, the clock is ticking. When he lands a gig that pairs him with the beautiful blond spitfire Jess, he''s scored his best shot at living out the American dream. Winning her trust would be a whole lot easier, however, if he didn''t have ulterior motives... But there''s no faking the intense attraction between them. Try as they might to resist each other, soon sparks are flying, as they devise a plan to sneak into the ceremony. But when Jess'' new celebrity client raises the stakes, she starts to smell blackmail, and soon she and Will are chasing down cheating directors, staking out clandestine trysts, and making fake IDs, all while sneaking scene-stealing kisses and hot nights together. The audience loves a happy ending, but in a town where everyone''s acting and no one''s playing by the rules, can Jess and William find their own ever after in time?
