In this entertaining and sexy romance, Sam Cooper becomes the city's most
eligible bachelor after foiling a jewelry store robbery. Lexie Davis, however,
is only interested in the ring Coop chose as his reward, for her grandmother
Charlotte owns the matching necklace. But Davis's attitude changes when she
meets Cooper and sparks fly, much to the excitement of Lexie's feisty grandma
and her longtime friend Sylvia. As Coop and Lexie delve into the ring's
dubious history, they realize that their attraction is more than skin deep:
Coop understands Lexie's self-consciousness with her family and Lexie believes
in Coop's writing dreams. While the pair cannot deny their passion and growing
commitment, Lexie's wandering spirit and Coop's resistance to change leave
them feeling cold. This fun and romantic summer read, while occasionally over
the top, will please readers with its mischievous characters, red-hot
passionate encounters, and spirited plot.

Lexie is a world traveler to the dismay of her proper parents and the delight
of her equally free-spirited grandmother, who encourages her to follow her
dreams. Crime-beat reporter Sam Cooper foils a jewelry-store robbery on his
lunch hour, and the grateful owner presents Coop with a gaudy antique ring
(unaware that it was stolen decades ago) in thanks. Coop then gains new
empathy for the subjects of his investigations after first being feted as the
city’s newest hero on the popular Bachelor Blog, then burglarized by someone
trying to recover the ring. When Lexie notices that the ring matches her
grandmother’s necklace and accosts Coop, matters heat up for everyone
involved. The first in best-seller Phillips’ fast-moving and sexy new
contemporary romance series portraying heroic bachelors of New York City

her many readers will clamor for this and successive Most Eligible Bachelor
