Cover Me

I remember the day when my life began to spin out of control...

Without going into too much detail, it was the day that a birthday cake, a very naughty gift, an incredible one-night stand and a "cover curse" at the magazine I work for all came together....

Now I'm heading to Nowheresville, U.S.A., to man-sit Sam Long, the hunky veterinarian I slept with last night, all under the cover of a job assignment! How I'm supposed to maintain a professional distance at this point is totally beyond me! But my career (and his safety) depend upon it. Since I've never left New York City, I guess I should look at this as an adventure. I can only hope that while I'm out covering my job (and my boss's behind), someone will cover me. And if I play my cards right, that person might just be Sam...

My Favourite Mistake

"I, Denis Cooke, take thee, Redford DeMoss, to be my lawful husband..."

No, wait...I did that already—three years ago in a Vegas chapel after one too many Long Island Iced Teas. I married a hunky U.S. Marine I'd met only hours before. (The uniform did it.)

The wedding night—week—was spectacular. Then Redford went back to the Gulf. And I went back to my real life as a New York City financial planner...and filed for an annulment.

I'm dating Barry the TV producer these days, but I think about Redford...a lot. And now, thanks to an upcoming IRS audit, I'm about to see ex-husband again. So why am I flustered? He's probably married, and I have — um, what's his name. It's not as if Redford plans to take me back...or take me—gulp—to bed.

Besides, I'd never make the same mistake twice.Not even my favorite one...

The Truth About Shoes and Men

While shoe shopping with two of my best friends, I had a relationship revelation: women's choices in footwear often mirror their choices in men! So what has that gotten me in twenty years of dating: sore feet and more than one broken heart. That's when I decided - its quality over quantity from now on, in both shoes and men! My friends think I've lost my mind, but I have a feeling my theory will lead me to my soul mate...
