Caroline Paul is tired of being judged for her cool beauty by the men who covet it. They prefer parading her around as arm-candy instead of taking the time to learn about the real Caro. Some have even lied to get close to her--something she abhors. When she takes over writing "The Single Life" column for the Atlanta Globe, she is looking forward to casual dates and finding Mr. Maybe, but she harbors no romantic illusions. When her car breaks down on assignment, Caro finds the nearest garage to get it fixed, never expecting to feel chemistry with the hunky mechanic who runs the place. She's attracted to Gus Hill's rugged good looks and down-to-earth attitude. To repay him for his help, and because she thinks it could be fun, Caro invites him along on some of her newspaper assignments, including working on a house for charity, a white water rafting trip, and a society gala. Gus thinks Caroline is beautiful, but he's wary of romantic entanglements. When women learn he owns a chain of twenty auto body shops in the south, they become more interested in his money than in him. Can Caro and Gus find the trust they both need to make this romance last?

This first volume of Mr. Maher's four-volume work indexes 38,000 death notices and 14,000 marriage notices. The extensive notices refer to people up and down the East Coast as well as to midwesterners and persons from as far west as the State of California.
Unceremoniously dumped by her boyfriend, violinist Grace Richmond is told she is too easygoing, a pushover. So she swaps her eclectic clothing for power suits, pins up her wayward curls and acts tough. Voila! New Grace is born. But the fine line between assertive and obnoxious eludes her. Her new persona seems to be generating greater problems--particularly in her relationship with her attractive new neighbor. Can she let down her guard long enough for him to see the true Grace--clumsy and soft though she may be? Recently divorced sci-fi writer Harry Birmingham just wants a quiet life in suburbia with his eight-year-old son, William, and their dog, Woof. He swiftly discovers two things--his new home is next door to a practicing musician, and Woof howls when he hears a violin. Intent on peaceful cohabitation, Harry is alarmed to meet a woman frighteningly reminiscent of his ex-wife. Grace is aggressive, prickly, and downright rude, even if she is gorgeous. But Harry wonders if he's missing something--William and Woof adore her. Is there more to Grace than meets the eye?
