A fun-filled farce with a touch of fantasy that takes place on three levels and uses three different voices. The key character is Wendell Wellnigh, a downsized cosmologist who loves three beauties; Faith, his globe-hopping fiancee whom he suspects is CIA; Hope, a marine biologist who smells and tastes better than any woman he ever met; and Chastity, his traffic-stopping teen cousin, for whom even Dudley the monkey has the hots. Wendell abandons cosmology and starts a business that adds sex and music to whale-watching. Unky, Wendell's saviour and Chastity's father, writes a best-selling novel titled The Hooker You Have Reached Is No Longer in Service. Meanwhile, an enigma named Michael Maker courts Chastity, keeps getting younger, and makes all who object to him forget why. All's well that ends well, and this novel ends very well for all concerned. "Some of the funniest material I've read in years." The late Herbert A. Kenny, former book editor of the Boston Globe, author of a dozen books, and co-founder of the National Book Critics Circle. "A delicious read. I love the book." Gwen Costa, Ashley Books, Inc. "Truly charming." Deborah Hogan, Del Rey Books.

A two-week kissing spree. That's what Scarlett Simon discovers when her mother unexpectedly moves their family to Mallory Falls, a quaint town full of strange traditions. Including one mistletoe-inspired event for the whole community. Scarlett refuses to be charmed by the town or its residents, especially not by one very determined Sage Toben who has made it his personal mission to lure her under the mistletoe every chance he gets. Scarlett knows it's only a matter of time before her mother moves them again, so the wise thing to do is avoid ties of any kind and remain an outsider. But there is something magical about Mallory Falls, and while most people are playing Mistletoe Madness for fun, some of the residents are playing for keeps. And Scarlett is playing defense to keep her family and her heart safe until they move again. Connecting to the town, making friends, and falling for a guy who has all the right moves is not just a bad idea. It's truly madness! This story contains lots of kissing and a determined guy who knows the importance of never taking life -- or mistletoe -- for granted.
