"Pure Chance". Serena Deveaux and Drew Stuart have been buddies for years so when he turns romantic and considers marriage, she wants to thwart him but not end their friendship. She concocts a diabolical plan when she hires Brandon Chance, the man whose graduation kiss fifteen years ago still heats her memories, to stop Drew's inane fantasy. However, she informs Brandon that someone is stalking her. Chance has never forgotten their encounter either, but feels they are not good for one another as both are daredevils. That is until they kiss.

"Insatiable". Samantha Deveaux grew up in Hollywood and even had minor film roles as a child and became a stunt woman always trying to gain her father's approval until at twenty-eight she gave up and moved to New Orleans to be with her mother and sister. Her brother-in-law Brandon hires her as an operative at his new personal security firm, but is bored with being a security guard at a Super Marketing Expo until she meets the model on the LaRocca Foods spaghetti sauce who happens to be CEO Dominick LaRocca who arrives at the show. Sam persuades Nick to hire her as his personal bodyguard though she has no experience except as a client. He agrees with the stipulation that she pretend to be his lover to fool his beloved grannies who want him married.

These two zany fun reprints starring the Deveaux sisters at times feel like Lucy pulling some inane stunt that is sublime yet amusing. Romance readers who appreciate an inane pair of improbable capers starring devilish females will want to laugh out loud at the escapades of the Deveaux siblings.
