The past always comes back to bite you.
Just when Angelina Jameson thinks she has the perfect way to kickstart her career, her hopes go up in flames. When she steps into her boss's office ready to pitch him a satire article about ‘Billionaires, BDSM and Blah-blah-blah’, she discovers that another man has taken the reins of Unabridged—the literary magazine she works for. A man she knows all too well.
Looking for a change to clear the mess in his life, Blade Spencer accepts the job as editor-in-chief of Unabridged, not knowing Angelina, the woman who broke his heart, works there. Given their new circumstances, maintaining a professional distance is essential, but controlling his feelings proves to be a challenge.
Amidst humor and melodrama the reunion unfolds, taking the reader on a wild ride. Will Blade and Angelina be able to deal with the past, or will the emotions simmering under the surface set them both on fire?
The Bookish & Sexy collection is a compilation of chick-lit/romantic-comedy stories featuring sexy bookish women, who don't realize how appealing they are...
The books can be read in any order.

I hurried down the hall to Howie’s office and stopped in front of the door.
I cleared my throat, took another cleavage-expanding gulp of air, and knocked twice. Without waiting for a reply, I burst in.
“You’re gonna love me!”
“I did, once.”
I stopped dead, one heeled foot in midair, miraculously managing to stay upright and not end up face down on the floor. Behind Howie’s desk sat my nemesis, Blade Spencer, the first man I’d ever loved. The brief time we’d spent together had been the most beautiful period of my life.
As I stood there staring at him, bittersweet memories flooded me. I recalled picnics in the forest, walks in summer rain, strolls in the park, stolen kisses, hours spent making love, and promises of eternal bliss. That last thought brought me back. Our relationship hadn’t ended in eternal bliss. Far from it.
“Hello, Angelina.”
His deep husky voice rumbled through me. Blade was the only one, other than my mother in a rage, who’d ever used my full name. As I grasped the reality of this situation, my heart pounded so hard I was certain he could hear it. Heat rushed into my cheeks, and at that moment, I was probably redder than any cosmetic blusher could make me.
“Blade.” The word gushed out of me, and I steadied myself on the back of the chair in front of Howie’s desk. “What... what are you doing here?”
“I work here.”
This had to be a joke.
“Work here? In this building?” I squeaked, swallowing the panic rising within me. This couldn’t be happening.
“In this very office.” He grinned, making the acid in my stomach roil.
