Join the Stanislaskis in these two beloved stories as they learn to take risks and trust their hearts. Convincing Alex Detective Alex Stanislaski thought he'd seen it all--until he mistakenly arrests bold soap opera writer Bess McNee for soliciting. Committed to understanding her characters, Bess often looks for research opportunities to help her write the best she can--and accidentally being arrested gives her the best opportunity of all. She decides to follow the sexy detective around to get ideas for her show, but Bess will soon discover that Alex is not only perfect for research but maybe a perfect match for herself, as well. Now all she has to do is convince him she's right. The Perfect Neighbor Brooding writer Preston McQuinn's new apartment, like his life, is just the way he prefers it--private and empty. He's here to finish a job and leave as soon as possible. But when sunny Cybil Campbell comes barging into his well-ordered gloom, he can't deny a grudging fascination with his bright, bubbly neighbor. Long ago, Preston had closed the door on love for good, so why is he suddenly anxious to open up his heart? And what will Cybil do when she finds out he's been lying from the very first moment they met?
