Mergers & Matrimony

$2.99

TO: HELEN HANSON
FROM: RICHARD WARREN
RE: ALMOST THROUGH!

It's been an exhausting battle, but we're almost done with the merger between Hanson Media and the Japanese powerhouse TAKA Corporation. And we couldn't have done it without your business savvy, Helen. Your late husband, George, would be proud of all you've done to salvage the business for his kids.

I hear that you and the fierce head negotiator, Morito Taka, are getting on famously. I'm surprised that he'd even talk to someone from the other side of the negotiating table, but your all–American beauty and sparkling blue eyes seem to have captivated him! Just be careful, Helen: mixing work with pleasure can be a very risky business .

Her Best-Kept Secret

$5.99

TO: JENNY ANDERSON
FROM: RICHARD WARREN
RE: MY NOT–SO–SECRET ADMIRATION FOR YOU

Jenny, I know you didn't relish giving up a plum reporting assignment to show me around Tokyo, but our days together have been much more intriguing than the merger I'm supposed to be working on. And I think even you can't deny that the sparks between us are sharper than a samurai's sword! I just can't believe that someone as beautiful and loving as you might still feel like she doesn't fit in. I know you've always wondered about the woman who gave you up for adoption all those years ago. Well, finding her might be easier than you think .

Falling For The Boss

$5.99

TO: EVAN HANSON
FROM: MEREDITH WATERS
SUBJECT: OUR SECRET PAST

Which probably isn't even a secret now that I'm working at Hanson Media. Believe me, Evan, didn't plan this when I took the job. All I know is twelve years ago you left town without so much as a kiss goodbye. Now you're back and when I'm with you I feel like the years apart never happened. But I promised myself not to fall in love again especially with you. If only you'd stop looking at me that way! How are we supposed to work together and save your family business when all I can think about is dancing to that romantic song again? Soon you'll even have me believing in second chances .

0ne minute they'd been dancing the next Laurie Brown found herself abducted, with a charming renegade, Apache cowboy Johnny Bronco, as her jailer.

Love Lessons

LESSON PLAN FOR LOVE
by Professor Catherine Travis

1. Stop spending every waking moment at my lab.

2. Quit finding excuses for my maintenance man to come fix things. (Mike Clancy is young, gorgeous and way out of my league.)

3. Splurge on a new wardrobe. Lab coats aren't very sexy.

4. Help Mike with his night school classes, and ignore what my friends imply about us. (He may have dropped out of college once, but there's definitely more to him than his easygoing personality and incredible body.)

5. Do things that scare me. Live a little!

6. Tutor Mike without falling head over heels for him. (Am I fooling myself? Is this even possible?)
