MOONSTRUCK IN MANHATTAN

Can a skirt really act as a man-magnet?

Freelance writer Chelsea Brockway doesn’t believe it for a minute, but the idea is her ticket to getting her own monthly column. Desperate to land a contract with Metropolitan magazine, she catches the supposedly moon-kissed garment at a California beach wedding.

Only, once she gives the skirt a test drive, she’s amazed to discover it actually works! Suddenly she has men falling at her feet! A quick trial at a trendy restaurant draws free lunches and nearly sparks a barroom brawl.

Even her sexy new boss, Zach McDaniels, is making it clear he wants Chelsea in his bed. Too bad he also wants her out of a job….

Unfortunately for her career, Zach plans to scrap every lighthearted feature from Metropolitan. Worst of all, trading sharp barbs with him over the wager is only making it harder to keep her distance.

One supposedly enchanted wardrobe staple. Two stubborn professionals pretending they can keep their hands to themselves.
