"Amusing contemporary romance"

Molly Connors salivates over her boss, but knows she must avoid too much contact with Kyle Ashton or he might seduce the truth out of her that her career is built on a mountain of white lies that she hopes to one day soon to move past. However, somehow he knows she is pulling a con though he is not sure of the what and why, but considers industrial espionage though he also wonders why she, like his friend Glenn and others, feel a need to lie to him. Instead of the promotion she yearned for, he stunningly fires her; he feels relieved by doing this because he feared how his body betrayed him whenever Molly was near.

Molly needs time to rebuild her life as she has no paycheck coming in and for that matter no place to live. She decides to temporarily move into a home owned by her former computer guru boss that he never uses. Kyle brings potential clients to spend time at his rarely used house only to find Molly living there. She persuades his guests that she is his fiancée. Unable to resist the libido lure of this siren, Kyle intends to spend the weekend with Molly and let his clients fend for themselves.

Though Molly's desperate antics seem over the top, readers will find it amusing once she and Kyle fake an engagement. The inane light-hearted story line is fun and some of the antics that the lead female does will have readers laughing out loud. LIP LOCK is an amusing contemporary romance starring a likable worried heroine and a bewildered computer hunk.

Summary

MISTRESS OF THE MOVES
Molly Connors can talk her way out of almost every situation. That is, unless she's around her boss, Kyle Ashton, a gorgeous computer tycoon with smoldering eyes and a long, lean body that doesn't quit. Every move he makes promises sophisticated sex. What woman wouldn't go tongue-tied?

But she can't risk getting too close to Kyle. No one can know that her fabulous clothes aren't hers, or that she's holding on by her manicured fingertips. But once she gets that big promotion, she'll make good on every one of her white lies. Uh-oh. Did Kyle really just say those three little words? You are... fired? He did. If she doesn't have a job anymore - or an apartment - she'll do whatever it takes to survive, even if it means camping out in one of Kyle's rarely used homes. He'll never know. Right?

MASTER OF THE GAME
Now that the sexy con artist has been pink-slipped out of his company and his life, Kyle can relax. Not. Molly doesn't play by the rules. And the very important clients he just brought to his weekend house think that she's his fiancee! If that's her game, he fully intends to win. Even if he has to kiss her senseless... and love her all night long...
