About this listen
Formerly titled Claiming Her Curves (2019), itself a significant expansion of the shorter original novella published as Curve Contract in 2012 by Wick, Christ (AUTHOR).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: What’s a guy to do when the one woman he can’t stop thinking about doesn’t believe he’s got real feelings for her?
A: Take drastic measures.
PIPPA: The idea that my richest and most gorgeous client just proposed to me feels like a crazy joke or a pitch for some weird reality show. But the thing is, saving Blake's reputation and my business in one fell swoop is more than reason enough to take the world's sexiest billionaire up on his offer. I’ll have to keep my wits about me though. If I don't, I’ll end up falling for him harder than I already have.
BLAKE: So, that just happened. I just proposed and saved Pippa's business in one fell swoop. Of course I did. I’ve been protective of her from the very start of our friendship. And now that she’s wearing my ring, protective doesn’t even begin to cover the way I feel. I would’ve stepped up to help her out of the mess either way, and she’ll learn that soon enough. But first things first. And convincing the most stubborn woman alive that I really am in love with her is step one…

Story
Lana Fleming’s sister has vanished from the set of TV’s hottest show, and no one seems to care. Desperate for answers, Lana sneaks in as an extra, only to get stranded with Griffin Hart, an A-list action star with a reputation for good abs and bad decisions. Though Griffin didn’t expect to be cast as a librarian’s sidekick in a real-life thriller, he’s weirdly into it—and into her. Even more unsettling—she sees right through his playboy persona. But their meet-cute soon turns deadly when they uncover a Hollywood scandal for the ages.

Story
It’s Valentine’s Day weekend, and Charlotte and Seth are not looking for romance. Armed with emotional-support bear spray, Charlotte is in self-imposed isolation and on guard from men. Having a stalker can do that to a person’s nerves. Just across the hall and giving off woodsy vibes is Seth, a recently divorced arborist. As in today recently. Heights, he’s fine with. Trust? Not so much.

Story
Meet Randi Burnett—she’s brilliant, she’s beautiful, and she works for the bride. Missing groom? Intoxicated in-laws? Crying ring-bearer? You name it, she wrangles it. Too bad her personal life isn’t thriving like her side gig as a bridesmaid for hire. Recently dumped, Randi throws herself into her biggest challenge yet when she’s hired as a maid of honor and pretend best friend for an ice queen bride. There’s just one problem—the best man is infuriating, overprotective, and anti-marriage.

Beckett: If you’re reading this, well, you know the last-letter drill. You made it. I didn’t. Get off the guilt train, because I know if there was any chance you could have saved me, you would have. I need one thing from you: get out of the army and get to Telluride. My little sister Ella’s raising the twins alone. She’s too independent and won’t accept help easily, but she has lost our grandmother, our parents, and now me. It’s too much for anyone to endure. And here’s the kicker: there’s something else you don’t know that’s tearing her family apart.
