"Twenty-two year-old Chris Strider vows to his dying grandmother that he will run a prestigious 6,000 mile race. He knows he's not fully prepared for such a grand undertaking, but he has no idea just how unprepared he is. He also doesn't realize that he'll be pitting himself against Stan Moden, a wealthy magnate who's used to getting his own way. In fact, about the only thing Chris has on his side is his coach, Josh Damour, if he can learn to trust him."--Author website.

Romantic Comedy: All hell breaks loose when Richard MacKnight's eccentric Aunt Agatha hires gypsy astrologer, Tia Vadella, to advise them on business ventures for their land development firm. Richard thinks astrology is bunk, and he is determined to keep any stargazer from interfering with his work. After trying, unsuccessfully, to buy Tia off, Richard realizes that her predictions are accurate. Still, he can't run his business by the stars. Even so, he finds himself drawn to the seductress in bangles and scarves, but he wants her in his bed, not in his business. Richard and Tia find themselves falling in love. But can a bullheaded Taurus, descended from a Scottish laird, and a sensual Scorpio, of gypsy heritage, find true happiness? They're total opposites. But while opposites attract, they also conflict. He constructs buildings. She constructs astrology charts, concocts herbal potions, dowses, and performs healing rituals with a group of strange people who chant ancient incantations. Richard is determined to marry Tia, and enlists her father's help, which turns into a comedy of errors when Richard gives his all to win Tia's gypsy heart.
