Amaya Jefferson can learn 164 counts of complex dance moves in ten minutes, but she can never find her phone. Her performing / teaching career is taking flight, and she needs to stay focused if she's going to come out on top. No problem for a woman who's been onstage since before she could read, and who recently had her television debut on "Who Wants to Be a Soap Star"! Frank Judd is doing everything he can to shed his working-class past and make it into the cultured elite, but his job as a restaurant critic named Grumbleygut shows no promise of advancement until he gets a surprise assignment: review the five-star establishments with dance floors in Portland. All he needs is a date. Unfortunately, despite being tall, dark, and handsome, Frank manages to repel just about every woman he meets. When a mutual acquaintance sets them up, both are sure the match is a mess. He's too stuffy. She's too sassy. Candlelit dinners and ballroom dancing may be romantic for some, but this is just a business arrangement, right? less

He got way more than he bid for ... Ladies' man and mid-tier model, Crawford Andrews has a hunkalicous reputation to uphold. That means working out and making out but making no commitments. Philanthropic (and very chaste) heiress Maris Conway would rather be passing out warm rolls and words of encouragement than working in her father's swanky real estate development company, but it's hard to be generous without a lot of money and connections... moreHe got way more than he bid for ...
