"Fun contemporary romance"

Wealthy executive Darren Kaiser loves the perks of single life living in the exclusive part of New York until he is named Manhattan Match of the Year by Matchmaker Magazine with a national audience of millions. Not long afterward every female from eight to eighty wants apiece of this hunk so Darren, sick of the stalking, decides to go into hiding.

Darren goes from the island's most eligible bachelor to computer geek Dean Edgar living in a lower middle class tenement. However, he finds one positive besides avoiding the female horde when he clumsily meets his neighbor hair dresser Kate Monahan. As Dean and Kate fall in love, her worries how she will react to the truth especially when she believes that Kaiser is a wastrel playboy.

UNDERNEATH IT ALL is a fun contemporary romance starring two delightful protagonists. Darren as a beleaguered Dean makes the tale hum as he escapes the female army only to fall in love as his alter ego and confused by feeling he wants the working class Late to Love the nerd as much as the hunk. Fans will think of Maid to Order when they have a good time with Nancy Warren's fine tale.

Summary

Underneath his suit...

New York executive Darren Kaiser has it all-looks, money, women. Since being voted Bachelor of the Year by a national magazine, he's ready to disappear...and moving to Seattle disguised as a nerd is just the way to keep his identity a secret. But he hadn't counted on meeting Kate- his gorgeous neighbor and a woman he'd gladly bare all to.

There's more than meets the eye...

When Kate Monahan meets "Dean," she's not sure what to think of him. Although they got off on the wrong foot, she knows he's a good guy. She just wishes he'd lose the geeky duds so she can see the sexy bod behind them! When Darren reveals the truth, though, will she still want the man underneath it all?
