{"product_id":"2940157507923","title":"Never Is A Very Long Time","description":"Cupid she's not--but she's pretty darn close. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNothing in the world feels better than finding her clients the perfect date. Of course finding one for herself might be nice, but creative bill paying is for college students--not for accomplished doctors in their forties. Satisfied customers keep the electricity on. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut wait, according to all the magazines the forties are the new twenties. Now if only she felt twenty... ??\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEverything in Dr. Mariah Bates' life was perfectly fine until the moment she quit her celebrity radio job to start a dating business. Two years, a cheating ex, and a very ugly divorce later, she's suddenly homeless and living with her mother. Not exactly how she'd envisioned her life. Not that her mom isn't great, but come on. \u003cbr\u003e??\u003cbr\u003eWith her cop ex-husband doing everything he can to ruin her business, she's at her wit's end. Throw in another cop who makes her believe in love at first sight--or at least lust--and life is a mess. Interesting, fun and tummy tingling, but a mess. Especially since another cop is the last thing she needs.??\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDespite a very persistent, want-to-be beau who insists he's protecting her, it's time for Mariah to take control of the game her ex has been playing. Punt or pass, she's due for a touchdown. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEveryone deserves the perfect date--even her.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e*****\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eABOUT THE PERFECT DATE SERIES\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe essence of all romantic comedy is that falling in love and navigating an unexpected romance is never easy or simple. Instead, it's messy and emotional, and if you're lucky, it's also sexy and fun. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSome relationship professionals, like my character of Dr. Mariah Bates in this series, sincerely want to help people find their perfect love match. For the various heroines I've created, many of whom are older, Mariah's going to need all the help she can get. Or maybe she just needs to step out of the way. You can be the judge.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNOTE ABOUT THE HEAT LEVEL:  Not being a fan of the word \"clean\" when applied to romance, I will instead say the heat level in this new series is in the 1-2 range, rather than 3-4 like some of my others. The focus is on sensuality and I've packed a lot into these stories.","brand":"Donna McDonald","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47076614930672,"sku":"2940157507923","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940157507923_p0.jpg?v=1764096808","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940157507923","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
