History professor and single mother Kate Matthews believes in love, marriage, and happily-ever-after--she just doesn't believe they'll ever happen to her. She's had terrible luck with men and she's all but given up on romance. Her life has fallen into a predictable pattern of work, caring for an unruly 12-year-old daughter, and dealing with her neurotic, crime-obsessed mother. When she's offered the chance to serve as the historical consultant on a movie called "Ooh La La!" that's being shot in New Orleans, she jumps at the opportunity to impress her university's tenure committee and add a little excitement to her life.
He Believes in Expiration Dates
Hollywood movie director Zack Jackson knows the score. Everyone likes to throw fairy dust on the topics of love and romance, but the truth is, they're just gussied up business arrangements based on an equitable exchange of goods and services. All relationship fade and die. That's why he insists on setting an expiration date at the beginning of a love affair, so both parties can walk away before things turn sour.
The only thing that brings lasting satisfaction is making movies--but if Zack's next film isn't a hit, his career will be over. He's convinced that the true story of a prize fighter and a "sporting girl" in the Ooh La La Brothel of New Orleans in 1898 is just the ticket, but it needs some added fictional action to jazz things up. When a stubborn female history professor tries to make him stick to the facts, and just the facts, he's determined to do anything--including seducing her--to get his way.
