Kathleen Wilder is a reporter for the small St. Louis Daily Mirror. She's a hard working career gal, who can take care of herself. She likes her job, her life and the direction her career is moving. However, she has a nemesis who works for the city's number one newspaper, who keeps scooping her and gloating about it. A Pulitzer Prize winning reporter named Mel Riggs. She can't stand him, at least that's what see tells anybody who will listen. And they just nod their heads, because they know Mel is her ex-husband and that she'd do anything to one up him.

Mel Riggs won't admit he's still carrying a torch for Kathy. But the truth is, he is. They'd been married for two years, but that was ten years ago. The marriage didn't work, because he'd been too competitive with his wife and he resented the fact that she was working in the same field as he was. He didn't at first, but it got him, her being so good. His male ego couldn't take it.

Now Kathy has a contract to do a book on a criminal case. She calls Mel to gloat and he promptly accepts a deal with the prosecuting attorney to do a book with him. No way will he let Kathy succeed at anything, unless he does it better.

Ms. Collins has written a witty story that I couldn't put down. She has delivered two wonderful characters who go head to head again and again, before they ultimately realize that maybe they were just meant for each other after all. Of course, it took a plane ride in a lightning storm to finally give Mel the courage to talk to Kathy as an equal. I just loved this story and I think you will too.
