FLASH OF GENIUS
It was brilliant! One look at her cluttered shop, one ride in her temperamental car, one gourmet dinner of peanut butter and jelly, and one long visit to her "when's the wedding?" parents would send Jack Martin running! Serendipity Samantha, inventor extraordinaire, strikes again.
She didn't cook, clean, or care to learn how. She was an inventor, period. And when a flash of genius struck, she centered her complete attention on inventing. Nothing could distract her from the task at hand--until she met Jack. His hot kisses made her senses reel as he applied for his own patent... on desire.
