Ladies' Man

Reissue originally published 1997


Ivy League college professor Ellen Layne and her two kids are spending the summer in NYC with her very famous uncle, the star of a late night TV talk show. Recently divorced, it’s her summer of crazy indulgences—and when she meets Sam Schaefer, a New York police detective who’s much too handsome, much too smooth, and much, much too young, she doesn’t say no, thinking their steamy encounter in the back of a limo is one-and-done.


But Sam knows what he likes and he wants more.  And when he keeps calling, Ellen’s Oh, yes becomes a heartfelt No way—he’s funny, and smart, and pretty damn perfect, and she knows it won’t take much for her to fall for him, hard. He’s too handsome, too smooth, and ridiculously young.


But when Ellen’s uncle starts getting threatening letters from a clearly unhinged and dangerous stalker, the NYPD is called in and of course Sam’s assigned the case. Ellen tries to avoid him, but he’s around day and night, and sparks start to fly...
