Nell ​Dysart is living a too small life in a too small apartment with no visible evidence of a reason to get up in the morning. Weighed down by an inexplicable divorce and a loss of appetite for everything, Nell is frozen in place, and she's not alone: Her two closest friends and sisters-in-law are as stuck as she is. Suze is married to a controlling lawyer who keeps her housebound while she perfects an almost zen-like denial, and Margie has been stuck in foggy limbo since her husband disappeared seven years before with a lot of money that didn't belong to him. Good thing Nell's new job is with a down-and-out detective agency that has huge potential and a boss who looks easy to manage. Gabe McKenna isn't doing too well, either. His detective agency is wasting time on a blackmail case, his partner Riley has decided he hates watching cheating spouses for money, and his ex-wife has just dumped him . . . again. Good thing his new secretary looks efficient, boring, and biddable. But soon Nell and Gabe are squaring off over embezzlement, business cards, bribery, interior decoration, vandalism, dachshund-napping, blackmail, and unprofessional sex, all of which turn out to be the least of their problems. Because shortly after that, somebody starts killing people. And shortly after that, they start falling in love.

Amikor ​egy pórul járt elvált nő, Nell Dysart bajban van. Lefogyott, mert túlesett egy megmagyarázhatatlan váláson, és mindentől elment az étvágya.

Találkozik egy mindent kezében tartani akaró detektívvel. Gabe McKenna sorsa sem alakul túl jól. A nyomozóirodája egy zsarolási ügyre fecsérli az idejét, cégtársa úgy dönt, elege van abból, hogy hűtlen házastársakat figyeljen pénzért, és az exneje csak nemrég dobta... újra. Az egyetlen, ami az ő szája íze szerint történik, hogy úgy tűnik, az új titkárnő hatékony, unalmas és engedelmes. Rájönnek, hogy szerelembe esni halálos is lehet... De a látszat néha csal, így Nell és Gabe hamarosan sikkasztás, névjegykártyák, rongálás, kutyalopás, zsarolás, kínai kaja, profihoz nem illő szex és bűnronda irodabútorok miatt perlekednek, ráadásul az is gyorsan kiderül, hogy ez a legkisebb gondjuk. Mert valaki hamarosan embereket gyilkol. Ők pedig lassan szerelembe esnek...

Gwen, a rangidős asszony a házban, szeret elmenekülni a realitás elől; Eve, az idősebbik lánya parányi identitás-gonddal küzd (kettő van neki); Nadine, az unoka, pedig kész a családtagjai nyomdokába lépni, föltéve, hogy talál olyan nyomokat, amik nem egy szakadékba vezetnek. És végül: Matilda, a fiatalabbik lánytestvér, aki örökölte a Goodnight Galéria alagsorába zárt titkot, amelynek megőrzéséért kész mindent feláldozni, s hajlandó bármire, beleértve azt is, hogy az éjszaka sötétjében betör egy házba, hogy visszalopja a múltját. 
A KOCKÁZAT MÁMORÍTÓ. Ismerd meg a Dempsey családot, de legalábbis Davyt, a jó útra tért szélhámost, akinek pénzügyi tanácsadója meglovasította három millióját, hogy aztán gálánsan átadja azt Clea Lewisnak, a legszexisebb gyilkos hajlamú nőnek, akivel Davy valaha lefeküdt. Davy vissza akarja kapni a pénzét, de főképp bármire képes, hogy megakadályozza Clea győzelmét, beleértve azt is, hogy az éjszaka sötétjében betör egy házba, hogy visszalopja a jövőjét.

Miután egy ruhásszekrényben egymásba gabalyodnak s elcsattan egy csók, Tilda és Davy vonakodva egyesítik erőiket, hogy így küzdjenek meg Cleával, továbbá gyanús műgyűjtőkkel, egy zsémbes örökössel, és egy szűkszavú bérgyilkossal. Eközben boldogulniuk kell egy mutáns tacskóval, egy hatvanas években rekedt zenegéppel, vitatható szexszel, és a növekvő felismeréssel, hogy nem dacolhatnak azzal, milyen utat jelölt ki nekik a sors, és kit rendelt nekik a szerelemben.

Jennifer Crusie - What ​the Lady Wants
Nothin' ​like a dame . . . Mitch Peabody was learning pretty fast that the life of a private detective was not all it was cracked up to be. Cheating husbands, suspicious wives, unsuspecting mistresss -- case after case left him cynical and disillusioned. This was nothing like the world of tough-talking detectives and smart-mouthed, stunning dames he'd envisioned . . . until she walked through the door. Right down to her stilettos, Mae Sullivan was a knockout with a lethal body -- and a lethal family to go with it. There was something not quite on the up-and-up about her, but she came with a case he couldn't afford to refuse . . . and left him with a case of lust like he hadn't had since high school. It didn't take long for him to fall for her, hook, line and sinker. But was Mae only interested in catching the double-crossing crooks who murdered her uncle . . . or did the lady want to catch him?

Jennifer Crusie - Faking ​it
Meet ​the Goodnights, a respectable family who have run a respectable art gallery for generations. There’s Gwen, the matriarch, who sedates herself with Double-Crostics and double vodkas; Eve, the oldest daughter, who has a slight identity problem (she has two); and Nadine, the granddaughter, who’s ready to follow in the family footsteps as soon as she can find a set that isn’t leading off a cliff. Holding everyone together is Matilda, the youngest daughter, who’s inherited the secret locked down in the basement of the Goodnight Gallery, a secret that she’s willing to do almost anything to keep, including breaking into a house in the dead of night to steal back her past. Meet the Dempseys, or at least meet Davy, a reformed con man who’s just been ripped off for a cool three million by his financial manager, who then gallantly turned it over to Clea Lewis, the most beautiful sociopath Davy ever slept with. Davy wants the money back, but more than that, he’ll do anything to keep Clea from winning, including breaking into her house in the dead of night to steal back his future. One collision in a closet later, Tilda and Davy reluctantly join forces to combat Clea, suspicious art collectors, a disgruntled heir, and an exasperated hit man, all the while coping with a mutant dachshund, a jukebox stuck in the sixties, questionable sex, a painting of three evil fishermen closing in on a dyspeptic tuna, multiple personalities, miscellaneous Goodnights and Dempseys, and the growing realization that they can’t turn their backs on the people they were meant to be... or the people they were born to love.

Jennifer Crusie - Bob Mayer - Don't ​Look Down
Lucy ​Armstrong has come to Savannah to finish the last four days of filming on a romantic action movie called Don't Look Down. What should be an easy shoot is made a lot more difficult by the stunt coordinator (Lucy's ex-husband, Connor Nash), the script supervisor (Lucy's very unhappy sister, Daisy), an inquisitive five-year-old (Lucy's niece, Pepper), the backer (a sinister Irishman named Finnegan), and one strong and silent stunt man (J. T. Wilder, the stuff Lucy's dreams are made of). Then she starts to look beneath the surface and realizes that, unless she finds out what's going on fast, the movie isn't going to be the only thing that's finished in four days. J. T. Wilder has come to Savannah to make some quick money as a stunt double while on leave from the Army (he's a Green Beret). What should be an easy job is made a lot more difficult by the star he's doubling for (goofball Bryce McKay), the starlet who's intent on seducing him (Althea Bergdorf, not that he's putting up much of a fight), his skirt-chasing best friend (gonzo-pilot Rene LaFavre), an eagle-eyed five-year-old (binocular-toting Pepper Armstrong), and a tough, exasperated director (Lucy Armstrong, the stuff Wilder's dreams are starting to be made of). Then the CIA calls and Wilder realizes that somebody is taking "shooting a movie" much too literally. Throw in Wonder Woman, High Noon, Pre-Columbian porn, non-stop action, and fast-paced dialogue, and you've got Don't Look Down, romantic adventure at its best.

The ​quirky world of Stars Hollow and the incredible relationship of the Gilmore Girls—mother Lorelai and daughter Rory are best friends—continues to engage viewers after seven seasons, with its lightning-fast dialogue, dry wit, and unusual take on family relations. In this satirical yet sensitive collection of essays, leading writers weigh in on how this unique show has successfully broken the teenage-sitcom mold and gained viewers of all ages. Addressing questions such as What are the risks of having your mother be your best friend? How is Gilmore Girls anti-family, at least in the traditional sense? and What’s a male viewer to do when he finds both mother and daughter attractive? this anthology also looks at how the characters are shaped by the pop culture they consume and how prevalent a feeling of class consciousness is within the series.

Jennifer Crusie - Welcome ​to Temptation!
All ​Sophie Dempsey wants to do is help her sister make a video of a washed-up actress and get out of town before they get into trouble. The daughter of generations of con men, Sophie's trying to walk the straight and narrow, but it's, well, difficult. All Mayor Phineas Tucker wants to do is run Temptation with as little fuss as possible and win his upcoming election without cutting into the time he needs for his real passion: playing pool. The son of generations of mayors, Phin's trying to be an upstanding citizen, but it's, well, boring. It only takes one look before Sophie knows that Phin's the kind of boy her mother used to warn her about-- a fast-talking town boy-- and Phin knows she's the kind of woman his father told him to stay away from-- the devil's candy. And in no time at all, boredom is the least of their difficulties. Gossip, adultery, and blackmail; pornography, politics, and murder; vehicular abuse of a corpse and slightly perverse but really excellent sex: all hell is breaking loose in Temptation, Ohio, while Sophie and Phin fall deeper and deeper in trouble… and in love.
