Romancing the Phone series
Call Me…Maybe (Romancing the Phone #1)
Love’s more complicated than rocket science.
She's a 53-year-old rocket scientist turned mechanic with a menopause-induced crazed libido. He's a landscape architect with designs on her heart.
Retired rocket scientist Scarlet Brinks fixes cars, wrangles her active aging parents, and resorts to a one-morning stand with a hot and sexy stranger to soothe her menopause-induced crazed libido. Too bad once makes her want more with the surprisingly adventurous younger man, especially after her cohorts issue a few interesting challenges.
Landscape architect Nelson Whitaker has never been propositioned by a mostly naked woman on her front porch before, but how can he refuse when his wife left him and their teenage children without so much as a goodbye and every date since has sucked? Now he needs to convince the brainy and beautiful mechanic to give their relationship a chance to grow.
Opposites attract, but are their fireworks in the bedroom and a tentative friendship enough to achieve happily-ever-after?
Smooth Operator (Romancing the Phone #2)
Love’s more silver-tongued than the devil.
She’s a 50-year-old divorcée with an empty nest and a lonely heart. He’s a truck driver who’s in it for the long haul.
Rose Chambers is a divorcée with an empty nest, two businesses, and a lonely heart. At least she doesn’t have to talk to herself. Her 1-900-HOT-TALK clients are happy to converse—among many other imaginary oral activities—to help her pay the bills her small-town lumberyard can’t cover. When she hires a new delivery driver, her life gets even more interesting.
Harley-riding Barton Holloway is happy to trade driving a big rig for delivering building materials, especially when he discovers his new boss is an old flame. Overhearing her risqué phone calls brings the spark back to life, but a little challenge from her friends adds fuel to the no-longer-dormant attraction. He’ll have to convince her to ride off into the sunset with him on his motorcycle built for two.
Hang-Ups (Romancing the Phone #3)
Love's more than fun and games.
Former pharmacologist Cerise Wethers (51) has no use for men, especially since she owns BOB’s Pleasure Palace and can test-drive the toys she stocks. Waking up beside two husbands who kicked the golden bucket could also be a contributing factor, even if she’s swimming in money.
Divorced dad Dixon Mayhew (45) focuses on his adult and nearly adult kids, his tech business, and preparing for an empty nest. The last thing he wants is a demanding relationship to complicate his simple life—or so he thinks.
A surprise snowstorm traps him with the brainy blonde bombshell during what should’ve been an easy security system job but becomes a friends-with-benefits arrangement. Can either of them resist their chemistry? Or will they let their emotional hang-ups ruin a chance for true love?
