Blurb:
As the punk-goth manager of Las Vegas’s premiere adult toy
store, Kai Tyler changes her hair color, nail color, and eye color the way some
people change socks. In fact, she’s even changed her name. She owes no one,
depends on no one, and stopped believing in happily ever after before she
reached the age of ten. All she really wants out of life is a few good gadgets
and the occasional day of pampering once in a while.
Luke Clarke loves his family, but he has no desire to fulfill his parents’ dream by getting married and going into politics. So when he’s invited to his sister’s week-long wedding gala, he asks Kai along as a decoy. Having a date will squelch his mother’s matchmaking attempts and Kai’s outrageous appearance might—just might—convince his family once and for all that he’ll never have a career in politics.
But as stress, desire, and close quarters eat away at the masks both Luke and Kai wear, their easy arrangement begins to transform into something neither expected. Will they cling to the stable roles of the past, or bet on an uncertain future together?

Laura
K. Curtis does everything backwards. As a child, she was extremely serious, so
now that she’s chronologically an adult, she feels perfectly justified in
acting the fool. She started teaching at age fifteen, then decided to go back
to school herself at thirty.
Laura
has taught middle school social studies, high school literature, and college-level
rhetoric, all with relative success. She’s also a full-on Mac geek who spent
years as a consultant and running an academic computing lab. The only thing she
completely failed at in the field of education was attempting to teach
obedience to her pack of Irish Terriers. Currently, she lives in Westchester,
NY, with her husband and two insane Irish Terriers who have taught her how
easily love can coincide with the desire to kill.
