Alexis Grant has everything she's ever wanted: fashionable clothes, social standing, a Manhattan apartment, and a mother who pays for it all. That's until her mother is arrested for embezzlement and the government seizes everything. Left jobless, homeless and strapped for cash, Alexis throws caution to the wind and decides the time is right to do that big road trip across America with her best girlfriend, who is bringing along her boyfriend, who is bringing along his buddy -- tattoo artist Ethan James. Ethan has 'bad boy' written all over him, drives a 1965 Lincoln Continental and has no time for spoilt rich girls, but he might just be the best thing that's ever happened to Alexis. But he's certainly not steady material, and when Mrs Grant shows up, her overpowering presence threatens to ruin the relationship before it has a chance to start. Sparks will fly!

Opposites Attract

Anne Tourney

Lauryn is a business consultant who spends half her life on airplanes, traveling from one boring industrial complex to another. She longs to visit exotic cities for adventure and romance, but her evil boss is making sure that her assignments are as dull as dirt. Chloe is a graduate student with a passion for translating Japanese love poetry; she dreams about leading an erotic double life in Tokyo, but her fear of flying keeps her earthbound. Veronica fantasises about starting her own escort service for goth chicks, while working as a shoeshine girl at the airport.These three very different women have two things in common: their dreams are deadlocked, and they're about to fall for the same irresistible liar. 
 
Joel is a freelance journalist who loves women as much as he loves traveling. Lately, he always seems to be between stories, which may be why he's inventing so many about himself. His alternate personalities are proving remarkably successful at winning the attention of three very sexy women-trouble is, he's falling in love with all of them. With everyone juggling multiple identities, whose fantasies will actually come true?

Lying in Mid-Air

With a dream job, great roommates and a wonderful boyfriend, Dean, Jane Williams has everything her heart desires - that is until her vicious social rival, Vanessa, finds out her most humiliating secret and sets about bringing her social whirl crashing down around her. Jane's terrible secret is that she works part-time as a waitress in a down-market pizza restaurant to fund an addiction to designer shoes and handbags. When Vanessa lets Dean's senator father in on the discovery, Jane is likely to lose not only the gorgeous Dean but also her hard earned social credibility. There's only one way for Jane to avenge herself: she's going to do exactly what Vanessa's done to her - take her man -- but the only problem is that she's still in love with Dean.

Fierce Competition

Detective Megan Matthews is cursed with always being right. Her instincts are good, her deductive reasoning even better. She's found her hard-headed ways to be too much for most men, so she's given up on trying to find Mr Right and has settled for arresting Mr Wrong. 
 
Crime Scene photographer, Ryan Andrews, has had a crush on the sexy detective since he first took her photograph by accident at a crime scene. That picture became headline news and she hasn't talked to him since. He's tried everything to get her attention, but when nothing works he's left with only one option. But is blackmailing a cop into marriage really a good idea?
