Making their mark on Tinseltown's movers and shakers is the plan for these savvy businesswomen, but mansions, movie stars, and temptation wait around every corner. You'll love this trilogy of sun-kissed romances featuring three spirited friends and the men lucky enough to win their hearts: Heart of Design: The tabloids portray flirtatious Ian O'Connor as Hollywood's latest playboy, but Sophie Hartland is just there to renovate his bedroom, not become another notch on his bedpost. But Ian finds her a refreshing change from the actress wannabes trying to hop aboard his new gravy train of success. Can Sophie ignore her traitorous libido - and, more important, can she protect her heart in this game of wills? Planning for Love: It's time event planner Poppy Reagan took her dating life as seriously as she does her business. She swears off the bad boys and strategically maps out a plan to find an honest, attractive man to become her life partner. Too bad the sexy Ohio dermatologist wooing her doesn't meet her criteria . . . until her heart overrules her head. Art of Affection: Holly Hartland has spent the last year in Los Angeles finalizing her divorce and getting her career as an art gallery curator back on track. The platonic co-parenting role she shares with LAPD detective Gary Sumner is perfect for two people who've sworn off romance, but the burgeoning sexual chemistry they share proves hard to ignore.
