Romancing the Phone Series

Love's more complicated than rocket science. She's a 53-year-old rocket scientist turned mechanic with a menopause-induced crazed libido. He's a landscape architect with designs on her heart. (146 characters) Retired rocket scientist Scarlet Brinks fixes cars, wrangles her active aging parents, and resorts to a one-morning stand with a hot and sexy stranger to soothe her menopause-induced crazed libido. Too bad once makes her want more with the surprisingly adventurous younger man, especially after her cohorts issue a few interesting challenges. Landscape architect Nelson Whitaker has never been propositioned by a mostly naked woman on her front porch before, but how can he refuse when his wife left him and their teenage children without so much as a goodbye and every date since has sucked? Now he needs to convince the brainy and beautiful mechanic to give their relationship a chance to grow. Opposites attract, but are their fireworks in the bedroom and a tentative friendship enough to achieve happily-ever-after?

She's a 50-year-old divorcée with an empty nest and a lonely heart. He's a truck driver who's in it for the long haul. Rose Chambers is a divorcée with an empty nest, two businesses, and a lonely heart. At least she doesn't have to talk to herself. Her 1-900-HOT-TALK clients are happy to converse—among many other imaginary oral activities—to help her pay the bills her small-town lumberyard can't cover. When she hires a new delivery driver, her life gets even more interesting. Harley-riding Barton Holloway is happy to trade driving a big rig for delivering building materials, especially when he discovers his new boss is an old flame. Overhearing her risqué phone calls brings the spark back to life, but a little challenge from her friends adds fuel to the no-longer-dormant attraction. He'll have to convince her to ride off into the sunset with him on his motorcycle built for two.
