From Barnes & Noble
April Finnegan is quick to realize that local golden boy Ryan Forrester's money-sucking department store is competing with her own precious gourmet catering company for local sponsors. She knows that something is going to have to give. Saguaro Vista is a charming little southwestern town, but it isn't big enough for the both of them. So the offbeat entrepreneur makes a desperate bid to save her business by challenging the wealthy mogul to survive a week without using his family connections or money to smooth his way -- and Ryan surprises them both by accepting. Just now he's eager for any diversion, since his fiancée recently decided that she
preferred one of the groomsmen to the groom -- and he finds lovely April as alluring as her challenge. Of course, once he agrees to April's terms, all he's got to impress her with are his good looks and native charm -- and a sense of humor that's about to get the workout of a lifetime. Without giving the plot away, it's safe to say that this is one wager where everyone's a winner, including Lisa Plumley's readers.
From the Publisher
SHE'S GOT THE MOXIE, HE'S GOT THE MONEY...
Her hometown gourmet catering company may be in a slump, but April Finnegan
isn't about to begin again. Determined to save her business, she sets out to
win some local sponsors, unaware she's not the only one in Saguaro Vista
with that idea. Turns out wealthy department store mogul Ryan Forrester is
one step--and thousands of dollars--ahead of her. Clearly, this sunny
southwestern town isn't big enough for both of them. Somebody has to go--and
it sure isn't going to be April!
WILL LOVE BE THE PRIZE?
All his life, Ryan has relied on his family money and connections to get by.
Now the outrageously off-beat, infuriatingly alluring April has challenged
him to survive a week in Small Town, USA without either. He takes her up on
it, knowing it means being with her constantly--but never imagining he might
lose his heart in the process! Thanks to their wager, now that Ryan most
wants to impress a woman, he's a penniless pauper. He'll have to rely on his
charm alone to convince April that he's a prince of a guy--and well worth
falling for...

The only things red-headed caterer April Finnegan and smooth playboy Ryan Forrester seem to have in common is unemployment and the overwhelming desire to prove themselves to others. April is forever trying to live down her flaky family; Ryan has decided to give up his partying ways and live up to his. Their goals bring them head to head in small-town Saguaro Vista, AZ, April's hometown, where there's no room for two community relations specialists (their new titles), let alone one. When April challenges Ryan to stop spending the Forrester fortune to win people over, he has to reevaluate what he really wants. Is it the most challenging female he's ever met, or a seat in the family boardroom? This is hilarious, nonstop screwball comedy, with zany, lovable characters Feisty Fiona, April's check-bouncing, queen-of-garage-sales mom, bagel-pilfering Uncle Bobby, et al. threatening to upstage the love story. Plumley (Making Over Mike) is the equal and more of Sue Civil-Brown and Rachel Gibson. She lives in Chandler, AZ. Jo Manning, Barry Univ.
