About this ebook
At first, driven and ultra-professional Savannah newswoman Tess Iverson has more than a few serious reservations about sharing the spotlight on her news show with a recently hired co-anchor, a young, inexperienced hot-shot from New York City.
Her reservations, however, swiftly redouble and become sheer panic when she meets the charming and drop-dead-gorgeous Yankee, Jared Cox, whose engaging smile, hypnotic eyes, and sculpted physique engender desires she has long suppressed.
And faster than she can say Welcome to the News at 11, Tess finds it impossible to keep her mind on business -- or her hands to herself -- even during the broadcast ...

Chapter 1
You did what?
blared Tess Iverson, doing nothing to trim the unparalleled fury from her voice as she stormed back and forth across the wide office.
It took all her strength to keep from lunging across the desk and wrapping her trembling hands around the beefy throat of the fiftyish station manager. Her acerbic display—her calling card,
she thought with satisfaction, which had always worked like a charm when making demands—had sent the program director, the sales director, and the news director out of the office, scurrying like a trio of rodents as if in fear for their lives. Tess didn’t need those peons to interrupt her current tirade, anyway, especially since the lone man sitting before her like a self-professed Buddha actually called all the shots.
Howie, I thought you said—
Now, now, Tess, don’t get all bitchy on me.
Howard Jerkowitz sat back in his swivel chair, wedging a fat cigar between his fat lips, then patting his fat belly with his fat hands. With his mocking gray eyes, snide and condescending smile, and twin pit stains darkening his yellowed white shirt, he looked every bit the Jerk
his last name implied. Or, as Tess amended, still smoldering at his shocking news, Jerk-Off
seemed more appropriate.
"You haven’t even begun to see bitchy!" she countered, her voice rising in volume when his gaze abandoned her.
He seemed to be paying more attention to the television monitors along one full wall of his smoky office. Each monitor silently flashed broadcasts from competitor stations, while the center monitor, the widest, stayed tuned to WGSO, one of Savannah’s local stations—their station. Currently, everything from an I Love Lucy rerun, a kiddie extravaganza with clowns conversing with puppets, and a cooking show with a hostess that looked as if she ate every crumb of the crap she supposedly
concocted single-handedly for the viewing audience, confused the eye. Tess focused her attention on her boss’s face, however, and wished he, for once in his life, would courteously do the same with her. After all, he had just dropped the bombshell of all bombshells, something that affected her hard-won success, and she felt she deserved—as the unqualified star of the fledgling station’s news team—his undivided attention.
"I will act bitchy when you go against your own promise, Howie. Indeed, just last month you assured me a sole anchor slot for at least a full year."
It’s not like I’m altering your contract, darlin’. You get the same salary.
"That’s not
