If it ain't broke, why's she so intent on fixing it?

Tessa Booker hates romance.

For twenty-five years, Tessa Booker has insisted that romance is something Hollywood cooked up to sell books and movies. Yes, she knows the word existed before movies.  She doesn’t care. That’s her story, and she’s sticking to it.

So when Ross gets a gentle nudge from Mallory Barrows to look into what Tessa’s doing every day while he’s at work, he discovers a “seasoned romance” in the works–one that sounds a little too “ripped from the pages” of his life!

For one thing, at forty-five, he doesn’t consider himself all that “seasoned.”  For another, who is this woman, and what has she done with his wife?  Armed with advice from Mallory and a copy of the manuscript he printed while she was napping, he’s determined to figure out what’s up with his wife… and if a little romance wouldn’t be a good thing after all.
