Corporate Merger — Elisabeth Roseland

The cure for terminal nerdiness…three drops of dark chocolate Cupid.

Amy Connelly has gotten used to the taste of shoe leather. Every time she opens her mouth to talk to gorgeous co-worker Eric Lewis, she puts her foot right in it.

Tired of the painful sight of her turning into a hopeless motormouth or tongue-tied fool at Eric's approach, Amy's friends take steps to remedy the problem. Her thirtieth birthday present is three desensitization dates with Derrick Vaughn, an Ebony Nights escort and an Eric look-a-like.

It's magic. Communicating with Derrick is easy, especially when it's their bodies doing the talking. He's even helped her rediscover the kinky side she's repressed for so long.

Eric? That's a different story. She's failed miserably at two of Derrick's three assignments for her -- asking Eric to lunch and dinner -- thanks to a meddling, flirty co-worker who's suddenly vying for Eric's attention. If shy, awkward Amy is to have a chance, she'll have to kick it up a notch…or three.

Warning: This book contains an awkward motormouth heroine, a painfully shy hero, and a sexy male escort who knows how to set them on the course of true love.
