Louisa Brannigan is a no-nonsense, hardworking press secretary, fighting her way to the top of Capitol Hill, with no help from her annoying neighbor, Pete Streeter. Naughty Neighbor is probably the most romancey of all the Loveswepts I wrote, but there's still a small mystery to unravel. And I don't know how many women wear front-closure bras anymore, but that got left in, too. In the beginning of the original Naughty Neighbor, my heroine throws a handheld phone into the toilet, and the next morning she goes into the bathroom and sees the 'slim silver antenna caught between the toilet lid and seat.' Okay, so most phones don't have extended antennas anymore, but I just loved the image. I do this because the books were meant to be contemporary (as opposed to historical), and I don't want the reader to have a time disconnect. For instance, I change VHS to DVD, and roller skates to Rollerblades, and sticks of gum are now pieces of gum. Usually when I edit these books I do some modernizing. Naughty Neighbor is the eighth in the lineup, and it's presented here in almost original form. I'm excited to tell you that those nine stories are now being re-released by HarperCollins. All immediately went out of print and could be found only at used bookstores and yard sales. Nine of these stories were originally published by the Loveswept line between the years 19. Red-hot screwball comedies, each and every one of them.

In a previous life, before the time of Plum, I wrote twelve short romance novels.
