Too Busy for Love

My name is Avery Warner, owner and sole employee of Too Busy to Shop, a personal shopping empire (a girl can dream) for those who simply don't have time to look for the perfect gifts for their loved ones. I cater to clientele from celebrities to busy moms to business executives. No shopping gig is too large or too small. I excel at finding gifts to delight even your eccentric Uncle Ralph or fussy Aunt Gertrude. Unfortunately, my shopping expertise is eclipsed by my tendency to attract catastrophe. No matter how hard I try, disaster follows me around. Wearing mismatched shoes to an interview? Yep, don't ask. Popping a button on my blouse in front of a hunky businessman? Not talking about it. Driving into a pond? Banished from my mind as if it didn't happen. There's also the small matter of falling for one of my clients. Despite my best efforts, I'm attracted to Mr. Grumpy. The stuffy businessman's scowls turn my knees to mush, and when he turns those grouchy eyes on me, my heart melts. Every now and then I get a glimmer of hope that he's attracted to me too. But can I get him to fall for me without setting his suit jacket on fire?

He's a casual T-shirt and flip-flops chef. She's a serious buttoned-down corporate leader. How's their relationship ever going to work? Ash: I've been a personal chef for a variety of clients, but I've never had one like the lovely, yet cooking-challenged, Teddy. Despite her lack of kitchen skills, I'm drawn to her. She's funny, smart, and keeps me on my toes. How am I going to win her over? Teddy: I admit that whenever I'm near a stove, the result turns out tasteless, unappetizing, or unfit to eat. With my niece staying with me for the summer, I hired a personal chef to provide nutritious and delicious meals. Much to my surprise, I'm attracted to the hunky (younger) chef. I need to keep this relationship professional, but my heart isn't in sync with my brain. How do I keep him from winning me over? Ash and Teddy's relationship goes from one laugh-out-loud adventure to the next, including: a lecture on the history of dirt at a run-down museum; a swoon worthy incident with ice cream at a food truck named The Green Frog; and a sweet improv version of a Shakespeare classic play that you won't soon forget. Do these opposites, attract hero and heroine with opposing agendas find their HEA?

He's a celebrity baseball player. She's an event planner with a secret crush-on him. Should she continue to hide her feelings or should she let him into her heart? Arielle: My old high school crush just hired me. Me, the awkward, studious 4.0 student who spewed fire retardant all over him when he set the chemistry lab on fire. I doubt he remembers me because he went on to score a major league baseball contract. Can I plan his party, while keeping my heart safe from his magnetic charm that I unfortunately still find irresistible? Griff: I wasn't expecting to recognize my new party planner. She's the pint-sized dynamo that could win a debate against Abraham Lincoln. I've always been overwhelmed by her brains and her beauty. Grams and Gramps deserve a spectacular party-I hired Arielle because she's the best in the business, but she intrigues me beyond "just business" and now I'm determined to win her heart. You'll laugh out loud as Arielle and Griff work together to get ready for a party in a crumbling Victorian mansion with one unforeseen disaster after another. Can the endearingly awkward party planner and the charming baseball star find their HEA?

He's my brother's grumpy best friend, my enemy, and now we're fake dating. How did this happen? Brent Masterson has been my enemy ever since "the debacle." In a moment of weakness, because I can't seem to land a job in my degreed profession, I agreed to be his assistant. What was I thinking? It's easy to resist his usual Resting Grump Face, which apparently is his default mode around me. But sometimes when I least expect it, he gives me a knee-weakening smile or a flirty look, and my resistance to him completely crumbles. Maybe that's why, when he explained the ultimatum, his dad issued to him to find a serious girlfriend in only six months or the baseball organization that Brent manages will be sold, I also agreed to this crazy fake dating scheme. So, here I am, working for and fake dating Mr. Grumpy Bigshot. My foolish heart is all in, while my brain screams alarm bells. Why do I feel like this isn't going to end well? Will Brent and Libby's bumpy road to love end in happiness or heartbreak?
