Product Description

Thirty Days ...

That's how long Tom Riley is supposed to keep beautiful Marla Meyers from falling on her heavily insured face. But how on earth is he supposed to look after -- but not touch -- a drop-dead gorgeous dame like this one? She may be easy on the eyes, but she's not easy to keep an eye on -- instead of sauntering down the runway, Marla's flying off of her high-heeled shoes. Let's face it, Marla Meyers is a klutz!

... And Thirty Nights

It's a mystery to Marla why she's falling head over heals for a rough-around-the-edges guy like Tom Riley. He says he's out to protect her, but it's quickly becoming clear to Marla that she's going to have to protect herself from his tempting charms. And when the threat of real danger throws Marla into Tom's waiting arms, she has to summon every bit of strength to keep their business from turning into high-risk passion.



About the Author

Welcome to my wacky books! Life is nothing if not humorous, and I find my inspiration for stories in the oddest places. I'm pretty sure I found the seeds of Risky Business in a cartoon. Picture me with two kids, late for school, scribbling ideas on a paper towel.

Most of all I am having a lifelong romance with old movies. If my books feel like 1939 black-and-white romantic comedies, then I've done my job. I'm sure you'll find the "ghosts" of many a vintage film in my books. Now if we could make them into musicals, that would be heaven! (Swell up music here ...

4.0 out of 5 stars amusing contemporary romantic romp, December 15, 2002
In order to stay employed, her Manhattan-based agency sends klutzy supermodel Marla Meyers to Granite Insurance in order to safeguard her face. Agent Tom Riley tentatively accepts the three million-dollar policy even after Marla explains her black eye was caused by an encounter with a dress dummy. However, the Home Office in Minnesota demands Tom shadow Marla over the next thirty days before they provide final approval of the account because they categorize her as an accidental risk.

Tom figures this is one assignment he will enjoy, as Marla is beautiful. As he begins to hang around the model agency he begins to fall in love with his charge. Marla, who also secretly authors the popular Mike Mason mysteries that Tom enjoys, finds she also loves her protector even when he looks at the early AM starts like something the cat devoured before bringing home. However, will both of these individuals take the RISKY BUSINESS of forging a permanent relationship now that love is everywhere they go?

RISKY BUSINESS is an amusing contemporary romantic romp that skews stereotypes in the modeling industry leaving no prisoners. The lead couple is a delightful duo swimming in a pool of zany secondary characters that bring much of the humor to the tale. Though how the home office expected Tom to keep Marla safe is not clear, Suzanne Macpherson provides a droll comedy that will keep them laughing even as the audience will want more works as jocular as this one from this new author

2.0 out of 5 stars I can't believe the reviews were so good..., October 9, 2007
By L.R. (Texas) - See all my reviews
This book was not good. I could barely get through it it was so boring. I didn't see the attraction between the two characters. I thought the main male character was weak and had few desirable qualities. I would not recommend this book!

(REAL NAME)      
I really enjoyed "Risky Business" by Suzanne Macpherson. This a book with characters and the reader is able to relate to and enjoy. The reading is quick and the reader does not lose interest. A great book for the beach or anytime.
