Screwdrivered

A bodice ripping and chest heaving, fiery passion and love everlasting romantic comedy. Plus a dash of paperwork filing and horseshi-wait, what?

By day, Viv Franklin is a retired Army captain who designs software programs. By night, Vivian''s a secret romance-novel junkie who longs for a knight in shining armour, or a cowboy on a wild stallion, or a strapping fire fighter to sweep her off her feet. And she gets to wear the bodice-don''t forget the bodice.

When a phone call brings news that she''s inherited a beautiful old home in Mendocino, California from a long-forgotten aunt, she moves her entire life across the country to embark on what she sees as a great, romance-novel-worthy adventure. But romance novels always have a twist, don''t they?

There''s a cowboy, one that ignites her loins. Because Cowboy Hank is totally loin-ignition worthy. But there''s also a librarian, Clark Barrow. And he calls her Vivian. Can tweed jackets and elbow patches compete with chaps and spurs? You bet your sweet cow pie.

In Screwdrivered, Alice Clayton pits Superman against Clark in a hilarious and hot battle that delights a swooning Viv/Vivian. Also within this book, an answer to the question of the ages: Why ride a cowboy when you can ride a librarian? Christina Lauren and Emma Chase will love Alice''s books.
