Search - Stress & the City (Harlequin Flipside)

Stress the City - Harlequin Flipside
Author: Stephanie Rowe

STRESS AND THE CITY by Stephanie Rowe is part of the Harlequin Flipside series, books that have a lighter, humorous edge to the romance novel. In this book, the female lead character, Cassie Halloway, has just returned from the Bahamas, having gone on her honeymoon alone. She had decided to call off the wedding after she had found her fianc? wit... more »h another woman, but because she couldn't get a refund, she goes to the Bahamas by herself.

She's now back in the States, it is New Year's Eve, and Cassie and her best friend, Leo (Leonore) are at a party being held, of all places, in a school gym in Gardenbloom, Connecticut. She tries to have a good time, but unfortunately she spots ex-fianc? Drew Smothers at the party as well. The good thing is, Cassie has just met a very eligible bachelor (or so she thinks) and when Drew walks up to her to say hello, the bachelor, Ty, intuitively notices that Cassie has no desire to speak to Drew. As Drew tries to worm his way into the conversation, Ty wraps his arm around her waist, pretending to be her date. As Drew continues to blather on, Cassie can see no other way out of this situation, and plants a big kiss on Ty's lips, to Ty's and Drew's surprise.

And so starts the hilarious "relationship" between Ty and Cassie. Cassie finds out soon enough that Ty happens to be her newest client. She is a stress-management consultant, and feels she's the best there is. Ty is obviously under some stress, since he had sought out her services, but now that he knows who she is, he tries to back out of his appointments. Cassie loves a challenge; she also can't stop thinking about him and that kiss. Convinced that it's her duty to fix Ty and make him "stress-free", she pursues him like a shark and does her best to finish the job he hired her for.

Her main problem with this job, however, is that he won't tell her what is making him stressed. She does learn one thing about Ty, however, and that happens to be the fact that he's engaged to a woman named Alexis. Cassie doesn't let on how much she hates this mystery woman, but she puts all feelings aside and tries to be the professional that she is. Alexis is coming "home" to Ty in a few weeks, to finally move in with her beloved. It is up to Cassie to make sure that Ty is ready for Alexis' arrival, but deep down she hopes that Alexis never shows up. So, Cassie spends a lot of time devouring tons of chocolate to relieve her OWN stress.
