  I cleared my throat and flashed the clipboard I was holding at her. “On your questionnaire, you mentioned that your doctor prescribed at least ten half-hour fitness sessions to work on core strength. Correct?”

  She nodded.

  “Okay.” I pointed toward the treadmill. “Why don’t we do an easy five-minute walking warm up, just to get your muscles moving, before we head over to the weights?”

  “All right.”

  I helped her set the treadmill to a moderate walking speed of 3.3 miles/hour and showed her how to adjust the incline. It looked as though she’d never stepped on one of these pieces of equipment in her life.

  “Have you belonged to a gym before?” I asked.

  She shook her head. “It’s not really my scene.”

  I was suddenly very interested to know what was her scene, but I didn’t make a habit out of asking clients personal questions, and I wasn’t gonna start now. No matter how sexy her ass looked as she walked on that treadmill.

  Man, five minutes lasted a long time.

  Book 3

  by Marilyn Brant

  “Nothing but love, 24/7” is the slogan of Mirabelle Harbor’s only radio station, 102.5 “LOVE” FM. At age thirty-four, local DJ Blake Michaelsen is well-known for several reasons: his very sexy on-air voice, his omnipresent family, his eligible bachelor status, and his reputation as one of the most impulsive men in Chicago’s northern suburbs.

  High-school French teacher and lifelong romantic Vicky Bernier is not at all wild about reckless conduct. Or men with gigantic egos. Or grownups who still act like teenagers. She deals with enough adolescent behavior during the school day. Unfortunately, she’s the staff advisor to the Homecoming Committee, and they’ve chosen Blake as their DJ for the big fall dance.

  What happens when a man whose job it is to play love songs for a living is forced to admit his deepest secret—that he doesn’t believe in true love—only to discover that the one woman who might capture his heart is the same woman who distrusts him the most?

  No matter what you call it, with love there’s an exception to every rule. YOU GIVE LOVE A BAD NAME, a Mirabelle Harbor story.
