    About this ebook

    Spa manager and massage therapist Peggy Underwood's new catchphrase is impulse control. No men — particularly jocks! She's going to focus completely on herself for a change. But as soon as former football player Troy Barrington walks through the door, Peggy's control takes a time-out. Especially when Mr. Sex-in-the-Flesh ends up lying naked on her massage table!

    As the new landlord, Troy is on a reconnaissance mission. He's looking for a way to close the spa...permanently. But as soon as he relinquishes himself to Peggy's hands, Troy knows he's headed for trouble — the kind with red hair and a smart mouth. And he can hardly wait to get there....

    Karen Kendall

    Karen Kendall is the author of many disasters and nine romantic comedies. She grew up in Austin, Texas, and credits her early interest in writing to several teachers and her mother, a professor of comparative literature. A graduate of Smith College, Karen studied the mysteries of modern and contemporary art before enrolling in a masters program in Museum Education, with the aim of teaching children about art. She worked for several museums and galleries before following her lifelong dream and completing a novel. She was first published in 2001, and since then her books have been finalists for the Holt Medallion (3 times), the Bookseller's Best and the Madcap Award for romantic comedy. Karen is still a big fan of children's art, but she now writes full time and lives in Florida with her husband, Don, and attack-cat Boo, who turns up her nose at chicken and fish but adores asparagus and mint-chocolate-chip ice cream. Karen loves reader mail even more than chocolate and typing "The End" on a manuscript!

      What’s this?” I said, looking down at the change the old woman had put down on the counter between us. There were bills of the wrong size and color, clunky-seeming coins that were too big and too dull. I stirred a finger in the little pile. She glanc

      I magine a sticky, early August morning, around three o’clock. It is dark, the moon blocked by clouds, no streetlights, a siren in the distance, medics running to a heart attack. Imagine a man out on a bike or walking a sick dog, or maybe a woman who

      I found the characters quite believable and fun and the story interesting. I giggled my way through the mud bath revenge! Peggy Underwood and Troy Barrington were well matched both in temprament and type. The two characters came across well and lept off the page and dragged me into and along with the story. A pretty good read.

      I didn't like her last book, so I didn't exactly have high hopes for this one, but I was pleasantly surprised. I absolutely adored the voice, and I thought both hero and heroine were well-drawn and real. They didn't have stupid cookie-cutter flaws. they were people I liked caring about. now I'm definitely looking forward to the next book in the mini-series.
