Naughty Neighbor

Dear Reader: In a previous life, before the time of Plum, I wrote twelve short romance n ovels. Red-hot screwball comedies, each and every one of them. Nine of thes e stories were originally published by the Loveswept line between the years 1988 and 1992. All immediately went out of print and could be found only a t used bookstores and yard sales. I'm excited to tell you that those nine stories are now being re-released b y HarperCollins. Naughty Neighbor is the eighth in the lineup, and it's pre sented here in almost original form. Usually when I edit these books I do s ome modernizing. For instance, I change VHS to DVD, and roller skates to Ro llerblades, and sticks of gum are now pieces of gum. I do this because the books were meant to be contemporary (as opposed to historical), and I don't want the reader to have a time disconnect. In the beginning of the origina l Naughty Neighbor, my heroine throws a handheld phone into the toilet, and the next morning she goes into the bathroom and sees the "slim silver ante nna caught between the toilet lid and seat." Okay, so most phones don't hav e extended antennas anymore, but I just loved the image . . . so I left it in. And I don't know how many women wear front-closure bras anymore, but th at got left in, too. Naughty Neighbor is probably the most romancey of all the Loveswepts I wrote, but there's still a small mystery to unravel. Louisa Brannigan is a no-nonsense, hardworking press secretary, fighting her way to the top of Capitol Hill, with no help from her annoying neighbor, Pete Streeter. He receives phone calls all night long, he steals her morning paper, he thinks jeans.
