My mom cleaned the bathrooms of rich doctors and lawyers in Beverly Hills. Now, she’s retired without so much as a pension. I put on a suit, go to my top-floor office, and work 12 hours every day just to support her. After watching my mother being ordered around all day, I don’t like rich girls. I especially don’t like rich girls who go up against me at work. So why is this poor little rich girl and her new dog getting under my skin? 

Divorced and done with her dry spell, Holly Prentice is ready to get back in the game. But with two conditions: her future mate can't be married to his career, and he has to have a couch. After one spontaneous and explosive night, Holly decides that her search for Mr. Right can wait. Nick can be Mr. Right Now. Nick has waited years for Holly. Now that she's dating again, he's determined to be the only man in her life. He wants what Holly wants: forever. Convincing her of that won't be easy....

I’m only afraid of one thing: earthquakes. But those never happen in Los Angeles - except when they do. I’m also afraid my mom and sister will be deported. Unlike me, they don’t have any papers. Maybe my biggest fear is that my husband - my very estranged husband - will finally give up on me and become my ex-husband. It’s not like I’ve done anything to build up his faith in me these last few years....

I got the three a.m. call no one ever wants. After I fumbled and dropped the phone, I finally heard the news I’d always dreaded. My father was in the hospital. And I was in Europe 6,000 miles away from Los Angeles. I hopped one plane, then another. Then I was on a city bus to the hospital because I was stuck in LA without a car, which was like being in a river without a boat and without a paddle. The city wasn’t looking like it was going to be so lonely once I got the bus driver Max’s number, though. 

Supposedly, a sex tape can make a Hollywood career. It killed mine. I was a child actress who didn’t fail miserably after puberty. I didn’t do drugs, rob a bank, or join a cult. I was the youngest actress to ever win an Academy Award. I was on the verge of a great career until one stupid night - caught on tape - brought it all crashing down on me. All I want is to be left alone with my dog...but I can’t keep my eyes or hands off the builder....
