Facing forty, can she find a man who doesn't care if she wears a thong or not? Tess Grayson has a comfortable life. When new and sexy are the must-haves for everything from phones to shoes, Tess knows she can't compete with the newer models. Content with her working-mother life, she'd rather stay home in her sweatpants on Friday nights anyway. But when a girlfriend pushes her to expand her horizons, Tess finds herself stuck with a crazy wager. Either she goes on five dates in six months, or she has to display her tone-deaf singing at the company talent show. Determined to avoid humiliation, Tess ditches the granny panties and ups her sex appeal. Through a succession of epically bad dates, her biggest supporter is co-worker Jack Maristone. He even offers to help her win the bet. Could the solution to all her problems be right next to her?

Jillian's enchanting smile captures the attention of anyone who meets her, yet it hides her shyness. The one person who knows exactly what she feels is her best friend since college, Tara. They have always been there for each other. Always. Even when Jillian had to hear the news every woman hopes never to receive--breast cancer. Handsome Dr. David Rainier was Jillian's first true love. His drive to perfection and success ultimately drove a wedge between him and the woman he has always cherished. The hammer that drove in the wedge was Cathy Barone. Years later, a car accident reunites the two lovers. Slowly they reconnect, though conflicts abound. Is it only the memory of what they once had, or is the spark still alive? Life's experiences have taught them both to fight for what is important.

Alexis Garrett has been trying all her life to live up to everyone's expectations and failing miserably. When her fiancé announces in the middle of the cafeteria that he is breaking off their engagement, she decides it is time to just be herself. During her transformation, she attends her best friend's wedding where she catches the attention of the very reserved and serious, Grant O'Rourke. Grant doesn't believe in love or happily ever after. He only loves his work. Yet, he is drawn to Alexis. His beautiful (and jealous) coworker sets out to drive Alexis away. When Alexis leaves Grant, it is only then that he realizes how much he misses her compassion and liveliness and will stop at nothing to win her back.
