Dina Jacobs is a single librarian who has never fit in due to her off-the-charts intelligence, frizzy hair and rounder-than-socially-acceptable figure. She left her past behind until she receives an invitation to her ten-year high school reunion, and all her insecurities return.
Adam Mandel is a single corporate attorney who just missed his third deadline at his father's law firm, the law firm where he is up for junior partner. With his reputation on the line, Adam needs all the help he can get to convince his father that he deserves the promotion.
When Dina and Adam run into each other on a deserted road, Dina thinks Mr. Flashypants can't possibly be interested in someone like her. Adam thinks Dina is just the person to help him improve his reputation. Lies and insecurities force them to take a look at themselves. Can they trust each other to look beyond the surface?
Excerpt
What the hell just happened?
She wanted to be friends.
The only kind of “friend” he wanted to be with her had “boy” attached to it. No, that wasn’t true. He enjoyed her friendship because he loved talking to her, hearing her opinions, sharing himself with her.
But he was becoming more attracted to her. So far, they’d only kissed, but that one kiss, that unbelievable kiss, haunted him. His lips still burned where they’d touched hers, his insides still turned to jelly when he thought about it. In fact, he’d been hoping there would have been more kissing in her apartment once he’d apologized for his gaffe.
But she’d focused on their arrangement and her overreaction, and here he was pulling away from the curb into rush hour traffic.
She thought he was dating her only to impress his father. If he were one hundred percent honest with himself, he’d acknowledge the partial truth in that statement. But the more time he spent time with her, when he wasn’t royally screwing things up with her, the more he wanted to move beyond their arrangement.
His head was another matter. It was still focused on not making a fool of himself, on maintaining the right reputation, on spinning the right message.
But listening to his head was probably what had gotten him into this mess in the first place. As unbelievable as it might sound, it was time to follow his heart.

Jennifer Wilck started telling herself stories as a little girl when she
couldn’t fall asleep at night. Pretty soon, her head was filled with
these stories and the characters that populated them. Even as an adult,
she thinks about the characters and stories at night before she falls
asleep or walking the dog. Eventually, she started writing them down.
Her favorite stories to write are those with smart, sassy, independent
heroines; handsome, strong and slightly vulnerable heroes; and her
stories always end with happily ever after.
In the real world,
she’s the mother of two amazing daughters and wife of one of the
smartest men she knows. When she’s not writing, she loves to laugh with
her family and friends, is a pro at finding whatever her kids lost in
plain sight, and spends way too much time closing doors that should
never have been left open in the first place. She believes humor is the
only way to get through the day and does not believe in sharing her
chocolate.
She writes contemporary romance, some of which are
mainstream and some of which involve Jewish characters. She’s published
with The Wild Rose Press and all her books are available through Amazon
and Barnes & Noble.
