"The sexy "man magnet" skirt returns in this latest Single in the City book."

Small-town librarian Corie Benjamin longs for adventure and romance. When she's contacted by reporter Jack Kincaid of the San Francisco Chronicle, Corie breaks a death-bed promise to her mother and flies off to "the city by the bay."

Jack has uncovered information about Corie's father, a man she never knew, a man her mother had run from and refused to ever talk about. Jack makes disturbing allegations against the man he's identified as Corie's father, but despite that, and an unknown person's mysterious attempts to drive Corie back underground, she's determined to meet her "family" and find her place in the world.

This is the latest installment in the "urban legend of the man-magnet skirt" books, part of Temptation's Single in the City series. The skirt not only protects its wearer but has the power to draw men. Although there's some suspense, the story is mainly a sexy, sweet meeting of the minds (and bodies) of Jack and Corie. Sometimes laugh-out-loud funny, this story will tickle your summer reading taste buds.
