KELLY"S LAW #1: Just when things seem to be settling down, the other shoe drops...with a vengeance. In this case it's more like a boot-a Regency-era riding boot belonging to Alexandra Blake, Viscount Saint Just, hero of the best sellers I write. And the man who's been throwing gold filigree monkey wrenches into my life for the past 3 months. When he defied all laws of time, space, and-let's face it-reality by walking out of my dreams and into my living room, I figured there must be a way to get him back home to the corner of my fevered imagination from which he escaped. Okay, so I was wrong. The thing is, I'm kind of getting used to having him around. Alex Blakely, as Saint Just now calls himself, isn't exactly hard on the eyes, and he's chock full of editorial suggestions. Not that I need them. Much.
KELLY"S LAW #2: All's fair in love and WAR. WAR being We Are Romance, the country's largest romance writers' group. Despite the fact that the WAR-riors unofficially booted me from their club a while back, I'm still technically a member, which is how I got the invition to their Manhattan conference. How Alex convinced me to go-and take him along-is another story. I just knew it would be a bad thing. Bad for my blood pressure...and very bad for my budding flirtation with Lieutenant Steve Wendell-he of the shaggy hair and NYPD-who's been suspicious of my relationship with Alex from the get-go. Of course, there's nothing to be suspicious about...yet. But my publisher and agent are attending the conference, Plus, complimentary cocktails! When will I learn there's no such thing as a free drink?
KELLY"S LAW #3: That thing sticking in your back that looks like a knife? If you're at a writers conference...it probably is. The best part of WAR thus far has been witnessing Alex being mistaken for a cover model competition contestant. The worst part? Take your pick: Conniving colleagues. Over-ambitious wannabe writers. Homicidal maniacs. Then, the publisher of the country's leading romance book review rag is offed in the elevatoe. Now, Alex is on the case. And so is Steve. And so am I.Killers to the left of me, hacks to the right, here I am...stuck in the middle without a clue. Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit smoking, again.
