Debra Daniels is still single; is that such a crime? She's
tired of nagging parents, sympathetic friends and too many
blind dates to count. She lives and works in Springfield,
Illinois, helping crime victims find resources and
restitution. But no one seems satisfied with her, all
because she hasn't yet found that someone special.
In a novelty shop, Debra finds the perfect solution -- a
fake boyfriend in a box, labeled "Fiancé at Your
Fingertips," that includes fake love letters, photographs,
background information and everything else she needs to
pretend she has found true love. As Debra eagerly
implements her plan, sending herself flowers and leaving
romantic messages from "Lawyer Logan," she's surprised by
how well it's working. She's shocked, however, when a real-
life man claiming to be her boy friend Logan Alexander
turns up at the gym, and then her father's golf course, and
then her parent's home and her office at work. As the real
version of the fake man that she purchased for less than
$20 a few months ago begins to ingratiate himself into her
life, Debra is increasingly freaked out by this turn of
events. When she finally confronts Logan about what's going
on, everything changes. Suddenly, Debra finds herself
fighting for what she didn't even know her life was
missing -- love.
Kathleen Bacus gives her paranormal romance a little
assistance in the form of heavenly intervention to help two
people come together who may never have found each other
without some help. Logan and Debra are both compassionate,
hard-working people, the kind of caring public servants who
law offices and government agencies will always benefit
from having on staff. I couldn't help but cheer them along,
even when it seemed like they'd never both like each other
at the same time. The creative idea of a novelty toy coming
to life gives this contemporary romance a paranormal twist.

Debra Daniels thinks she's found the answer to the age-old
question women have been plagued with ever since Eve first
said "Why not?" when Adam asked her on a stroll through the
Garden. In need of a break from her matchmaking mother and a
score of hellish blind dates, to Debra the do-it-yourself
boyfriend-in-a-box kit is a gift from Above. Fiance at
Your Fingertips: Touted as the single woman's best
defense against pitying looks and speculative stares, it
comes with everything the single-and-slightly-desperate
woman needs to convince friends, family and coworkers that
she has indeed found Mr. Right. And "Lawyer Logan" is
definitely that. Tall, handsome... and fictitious. Debra is
going to have an absolute blast with her faux beau--until he
shos up on her doorstep, acting as if he has every right to
be there and in her arms.
That'll be the start of a romance truly outside of the box,
and where the real fun begins.
