Lovers and Friends — Claire Bocardo

When Ivy Darling's third husband decamps with a bimbo, moving in with her long-widowed friend Flo Hunnicutt seems like a perfect plan. Ivy and Flo have been helping each other out of jams since high school even though they're as different as calico and silk: Ivy has entertained the President at dinner in her palatial Houston home; Flo lives in bluejeans, and defines "entertaining" as backyard barbecue.

Until Ivy decides it's time for both of them to get back into the dating swing. Soon, Ivy and her gorgeous new boss, Dexter George Armbruster III, are arranging a foursome with Armbruster's partner--who's sure to be a perfect match for Flo. It's a chance for two old friends to embark on the adventure of a lifetime... and maybe even to love again!

Hero: Dexter George Armbruster III
