Heart on the line - Judith Arnold

Long Island born and bred Loretta D'Angelo is a hip, savvy TV producer for a seriously fluffy New York daytime talk show. Josh Kaplan is a sexy thirtysomething lawyer for Manhattan's less fortunate, a devoted son who still mows his mother's lawn.

Josh and Loretta are just friends, because Josh has a girlfriend, Melanie-1,200 miles away in Florida. They're just friends when he agrees to become Loretta's "arranged" blind date for a ratings-boosting show. They're just friends when he pretends to be her boyfriend to get her marriage-obsessed family off her back. They're just friends when she visits the senior center where he plays chess. They're just friends when they fall into bedand in love.

Now what? Will Josh break up with Melanie? Will Loretta let him? Sometimes, if you want something badly enough, you have to put your heart on the line, even if it means doing something a little crazy .
