"She's divorced; he's desperate -- together they make a delicious pair."

Divorced, Desperate and Delicious

Lacy McGuire is the most likable "flake." She has more personality in her little finger than most do in their whole body. She is a divorced photographer with a menagerie of pets who share her eclectic home, filled with talking appliances and over-the-top Christmas décor -- in February.

Meanwhile, Chase Kelly is suddenly on the run after a near death experience after his crooked partner tries to frame him to look like a drug thief. This is not what Chase needs after recently losing his wife. Chase shows up in Lacy's backyard after falling off a bridge into a river and being shot. Battered and bruised, he's looking for a place to hide out. Holding her hostage in her own house while he sorts out the mystery of dirty cops and drug dealers, Chase tries to convince her of his innocence as his reputation is smeared on TV and manhunt ensues.

These two desperate souls seem to collide with each other at just the right time. Lacy is definitely divorced. She is desperate for some male attention. And there's certainly one desperate male who finds her delicious! YUM!

SUMMARY

Ever since photographer Lacy Maguire caught her ex playing Pin the Secretary to the Elevator Wall, she's been content with her dog Fabio, her three cats, and a vow of chastity. But all that changes when the reindeer-antlered Fabio drags in a very desperate, on-the-run detective who decides to take refuge in her house--a house filled with twinkling lights and a decorated tree. (Okay, so it's February. but she has a broken heart to mend, a Christmas-card shoot to do, and a six-times divorced, match-making mother to appease.) For the first time in a looong while, Lacy reconsiders her vow. Because sexy Chase Kelly, wounded soul that he may be, would be an oh-so-delicious way of breaking her fast. Now, if she can just keep them both alive and him out of jail...
