Clarise Carson was desperate to keep her newly-engaged sister from playing matchmaker at her very own engagement party. She couldn't think of anything more embarrassing than have her sister's guests see her as the loser in love who couldn't find "The One" so she dragged a handsome friend to be her pretend date for the night. Will Matthews attended his friend Rick's engagement party purely for business reasons. He had no desire whatsoever to be introduced to single females who were after a boyfriend. He was far too focused on building his business to the success he dreamed. When Will and Clarise met, sparks flew. But how could Clarise stop her old wounds from opening up again? And how could Will learn to embrace the one thing he didn't even know he wanted? ***** Each book in the Lifestyle by Design series is a complete stand-alone novel that would give you enjoyment on its own.

Jessa Allen knew she was plain and average. Yes, she was brainy and successful in her career as a senior writer for the popular Lifestyle by Design magazine, but she wasn't a raving beauty who easily attracted hunky, gorgeous men like Rob Granger even if her well-meaning friends wanted her to believe she was. So when Rob asked her out, she was shocked. A seriously handsome man who had magnetism she couldn't seem to escape wanted her. That wasn't something that happened everyday... moreJessa Allen knew she was plain and average.

So when Rob asked her out, she was shocked. A seriously handsome man who had magnetism she couldn't seem to escape wanted her. That wasn't something that happened everyday. Rob Granger was instantly attracted to Jessa Allen. She wasn't the usual type he went for but there was something alluring about her that drew him like a moth to a flame. But he was a self-confessed playboy who had absolutely no plans to be tied down by any woman. He valued his freedom, first and foremost and his expanding business was the only thing he was committed to. But he was intent on satisfying his intense desire for Jessa. They both didn't want to fight their physical attraction for each other. But Jessa found herself falling for the man who could not promise her tomorrow. And Rob was set on only having a short fling with Jessa especially when they lived in different states - he in Melbourne and she in Sydney. Could Jessa trust herself not to fall apart when the time came to let Rob go? And could Rob ever find freedom in what he considered as a prison to be avoided at all cost? less

Faye Summers wanted to get out of the cycle of passion-then-fizzle with her relationships. She figured it was her fault that she was too quick to fall in love with the next guy without fully getting over the previous one. So she came up with a different tactic to eventually find 'the one' for her. She would stick with casual dating for a while to ensure she had healed from whatever conscious or unconscious wounds she had before committing to another relationship... moreFaye Summers wanted to get out of the cycle of passion-then-fizzle with her relationships.
