Meet David Black, a young family doc whose solo practice has spectacularly tanked. So has his marriage; the two are not unrelated. His best friend, Oz, wants him to reinvent himself, offering their fellow Boulderites everything they need to live forever (or at least long enough for Oz to profit and retire).
David balks.
At first.
What follows is a romp of a read, a comedy with heart - from the characters who staff the new clinic to pursuit by pheromone-crazed wildlife, an entirely non-virtual cliff-hanger, and the love that, in the end, might save him.

Pennies On The Dollar
Beverly Crystal is on top of the world. She's young and has hit the New York Times Bestseller list with five books in a row. Her agent has just asked her to move in and she is madly in love for the first time in her life. Could life get any better?
Within three years she has no new books breaking out on the list, no live-in lover and no money. Everything is gone. Can things get any worse?
When she is contacted by Blake McGaven to assist him in writing a book about her quick rise to fame and fortune and her life since, she wants to tell him no, but he is offering her the two things she can't refuse--a chance to rebut the tabloids by telling the truth about her life, and money.
As much as she would rather be left alone, she needs money if she is going to keep her apartment and food on the table.
Over the next six months, she progresses from tolerating Blake to liking him to finally trusting him with the secrets of her life, the secrets that have made her who she is today. Along with her trust, she allows Blake to gently guide and encourage her. He sees beneath the surface stubbornness and anger to the woman fighting desperately to protect her heart from more pain. Will he be able to help her face her past without adding to her scars? He knows he doesn't have all the answers, but he knows she's worth every bit of effort it will take to help repair her shattered self-esteem—her Pennies On The Dollar self-image.
Although the future holds the potential for a happily-ever-after ending, it will take Beverly and Blake learning to put past hurts aside and to look at others differently. Their success will depend on them becoming a team, two people willing to put the other first and take a risk on tomorrow.
Phantoms & Fantasies
Zeenie's plan is to ease back into the world of dating, not dive in heart first. Especially not with the hunk who's supposedly bedded half the women in Dallas since she rejected him. On a blind date, he surprises her with patience and maturity when she fights against their pheromone bond, then shows tenderness and consideration when phantoms of her past arise.
As she learns more about Turk, Zeenie entertains heated fantasies of what could be and makes tentative forays into his sensual world. But her initial rejection broke with Crainesian custom and continues to cast a dark shadow on their future. Can she embrace her sexuality and summon enough courage to claim her man in true Crainesian style, or will their growing love be tainted forever?
Serendipity House
Sylvie was a pleaser. She did as her mother pleased, and she did as her fiancé pleased. Then she did as she pleased. Determined to take back her life, she heads to the hills instead of the altar on her wedding day. Coming across a quaint, country inn with an intriguing name, she impulsively checks in. Peopled with an odd assortment of characters, the inn has clearly seen better days; even the regulars have a bit of wear on them. When Alex arrives and is strangely comfortable vacationing among the geriatric set, Sylvie tries to ignore him.
But Alex will not be ignored, pushing her buttons until she admits, if only to herself, that she's falling for him. Not until she's hired to manage the inn does she learn he's not the businessman he pretends to be, but a streetwise PI hired by her ex to find her. Adding insult to injury, he buys the inn and asks her to help restore it to its former glory, not an easy task with someone sabotaging their efforts.
Forced to work together, both learn about relationships, expectations, and acceptance—among family members as well as strangers who become like family.

Signs and Wonders
Seven Days From Sunday
In this fast paced thriller, Iraq's top terrorist makes two promises – a kidnapped American contractor will be executed on a given date, his body dumped in Baghdad's Green Zone and a major attack will occur in seven days.
Working desperately to find the American and thwart the impending attack is an elite 4-man CIA team which includes an attractive female doctor. But they can only watch helplessly as the terrorist and his masked henchmen behead the American during a live video feed carried on the Internet.
What they don't know is that one of the masked men is not a terrorist, but completely innocent. He is an Iraqi pharmacist who has infiltrated the group. His only objective – to find his missing fiancée, who the terrorist has also kidnapped.
After the beheading, he is free to go. But little does he know that his girlfriend will bring the American head to the Green Zone, and inside the dead man's mouth is evidence linking him to the terrorist.
With the clock ticking, the CIA team knows that their only chance to stop the terrorist rests with the pharmacist and his beautiful fiancée. But can they really be trusted?
