Book Description
It all started with two friends, a bed & breakfast, and a marriage of convenience… Annie McCarthy finally has the life she’s always wanted – a B&B in a small town, a baby on the way, and a husband that no one has ever met because he’s in the military (or so everyone thinks). She also has $250,000 that Nick Fleming gave her to marry him six years ago so he could get his trust fund early. After a quickie divorce, they went their separate ways. Adventure writer Nick is ready to get married for real – to someone else – when he discovers he’s still married to Annie. But when he arrives at her door with the necessary papers, Annie refuses to sign unless he pretends to be her husband long enough to convince everyone in town they’re happily wed. So Nick puts on a ring and does what he has to do. But as he and Annie work together to create a façade of wedded bliss, will they finally realize the wonderful life they want is with each other? Finalist – Golden Heart KISSING ON THE CORNER is the fifth book in THE BACHELOR NEXT DOOR series – contemporary romances with sparkling dialogue and heroes to die for. Award-winning author Pamela Ford creates realistic characters with real problems that make readers laugh, cry, and fall in love. Don’t miss the Bachelors Next Door!

The Science of Kissing
Author: Sheril Kirshenbaum
Publisher: Grand Central Publishing
ISBN: 0446575135
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
From a noted science journalist comes a wonderfully witty and fascinating exploration of how and why we kiss. When did humans begin to kiss? Why is kissing integral to some cultures and alien to others? Do good kissers make the best lovers? And is that expensive lip-plumping gloss worth it? Sheril Kirshenbaum, a biologist and science journalist, tackles these questions and more in The Science of a Kiss. It's everything you always wanted to know about kissing but either haven't asked, couldn't find out, or didn't realize you should understand. The book is informed by the latest studies and theories, but Kirshenbaum's engaging voice gives the information a light touch. Topics range from the kind of kissing men like to do (as distinct from women) to what animals can teach us about the kiss to whether or not the true art of kissing was lost sometime in the Dark Ages. Drawing upon classical history, evolutionary biology, psychology, popular culture, and more, Kirshenbaum's winning book will appeal to romantics and armchair scientists alike.
