...
belle lawyer, Merrill Prescott, and construction worker, Jason Stavros, fall in love and live happily ever after. Then they discover that Jupiter plans to seduce Merrill and wants Cupid and Venus out of the way. Merrill Prescott can't believe she just became legal co-guardian to a dog worth seventy-five million dollars. Not only does she have to move in with sexy, hard-working, Jason Stavros, baby-sit the pampered pooch, fend off a pair of greedy dog-napping relatives, control a pair of crazy interior decorators (Cupid and Venus undercover), she is saddled with a grandmother determined to find the 'right' Southern gentleman husband for her. She just doesn't have the energy to fall in love. But Jason Stavros is just too tasty to resist, even though she gives it a good try. Jason Stavros thinks Merrill is a hot-house Southern belle dabbling at her law practiceuntil she moves in with him. Earthy, sexy, down-to-earth Merrill throws him and his preconceptions of her out the window. With Jupiter's interference, the odds are not in favor of the Love Gods, but their reputations are at stake! Can Cupid and Venus save the dog, avoid the wrath of Jupiter, and show a Southern belle and a working man they were meant for each other forever?

I couldn't put the book down!" -- Karen Larsen, Scribes World Reviews, March 2000"Hilarious and sexy! J. M. Jeffries' sharp wit and steamy sensuality makes this a keeper. Don't miss this book!" -- Award-winning, best-selling author, Carin Rafferty About the Author J. M. Jeffries is the pen name for writing team Jacqueline S. Hamilton and Miriam Pace. Jacqueline is the proud owner of twenty-seven shades of red lipstick. At the ripe old age of twenty-three, she ran away from home to Europe and the Carribean to visit friends and relatives only because Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Bailey Circus wasnt accepting applications. She is living proof that at age eighteen one doesnt need to know what they want out of life. She is also living proof that at thirty five one doesnt need to know what they want out of life. While she considers herself a happy person, Jackie fights daily with her envy issues. At college, she studied sociology because it was the only subject besides romance novels that attempted to explain the meaning of life. She considers herself a workaholic/procrastinator and would rather lay on the sofa patting her tummy, teaching her friends dog how to smoke, and then lie about it. She is passionately enamored of Steven Spielbergs Animaniacs, William Faulkner novels, and "The New Detectives: a Study of Forensic Science" on the Discovery Channel. ** Miriam is the only woman in the world with her own hand cream collection which she uses everywhere on her body except her hands. Her greatest beauty secret is lip balm for the elbows. She has the refinement of a Victorian lady, the intelligence of a Nobel Prize Laureate, and when the stars are straight and the moon is full, she has the vocabulary of a truck driver. Miriam truly believes the only reason she received a Masters Degree in English was because her instructors were too afraid shed come back. She has been known to level mountain ranges with the lift of an eyebrow. But her friends consider her generous, warm and a closet dominatrix. Miriam knew she would marry her husband of twenty-nine years after their first date, but made him wait a whole year before she said, "I do," so he could have the illusion he was the pursuer. She is known as the curator of the Pace Zoo. At any time one can find sheep in her back yard, a German Shepard m
