Champagne Taste

What’s a girl to do when she’s out shopping for a new dress, and only the one that’s outrageously priced is the one calling her name? Or when the only pair of shoes that will be a perfect match for that dress costs another huge chunk of change? Kara Childers, library clerk by day and belly dancer instructor by night, will readily admit that her champagne taste has been her dilemma for, well, ever. Now she’s applying that same gold standard to the men in her life, the most recent of whom is the well-to-do doctor she’d just begun to date. Although not sure she’s cut out (or even that she really wants to be) a trophy wife, she’s determined to make it work with the somewhat offbeat pediatrician.

That is, until Gil Parsons moves in right next door. Gil may be a tall, muscle-y hunk, but Kara’s first impression of the man is that he is the classic Mr. Wrong. So why is he taking center stage in her heart—and making her forget any other men she’s ever known? Kara’s about to learn that there’s more to Gil than meets the eye, and that there are some things in life that truly are priceless. A chick lit/contemporary romance fiction from the author of ’Twas the Spy Before Christmas.
