Book excerpt: TAKING A LEAP - Computer geek Bradley Morgan is a nice guy, through and through. The problem is, nice guys almost always finish last when it comes to hot women like his sexy co-worker Alyssa Jones. But things change after Alyssa finds her boyfriend cheating. Suddenly, nice guys like Brad don't look so bad. LIGHT MY FIRE - Amy Gerald's life is filled with whirlwind romance. Unfortunately, it's all on the pages of the romance novels she publishes. That is until she volunteers to cat-sit for her friend and meets Troy O'Donnell, the hunky fireman who lives next door. SECOND TIME AROUND - Antonio Sanchez thought that at 32 his life was all mapped out--wife, kids, career--until some major bumps in the road radically alter his course and send him careening right into the path of newly divorced Maddie Morgan.
