About this ebook

Repossession of your car in Los Angeles is like breathing without lungs. It can make an unemployed management consultant like Jordan Wright do crazy things, such as accept a job beneath her skills on a reality competition show and pretend to be a spy for a competing outfit.

Even though he sees through the undercover story, the show’s executive producer, Bart Underwood, is intrigued by it as well as the woman spinning her tale. Creativity is not one of his strong suits, and he has found himself in over his head with this new production. Unable to ask directly for Jordan’s help, he takes advantage of her need to prove herself in hopes she’ll rescue his baby. But despite their growing attraction to each other, even she can’t save a reverse beauty pageant titled Ugly as Sin.  

When several stunts go awry, she suggests a new approach, challenges based on toys designed by Bart’s toymaker uncle. Though interested, Bart must first deal with his useless partner, who has been blackmailing him to stick around. The man’s resentment of Jordan threatens to not only disrupt her growing involvement with Bart but also risk the viability of the new show, Don’t Toy with Me.

About the author

Barbara Barrett skipped a midlife crisis by writing romance novels at night when she wasn’t at her day job as human resources analyst for Iowa State Government. The first took longer to complete than she likes to admit.

This book is the first of the “UnderWright Productions” series, which features executive producers Bart Underwood and Jordan Wright. The pair continue to appear in secondary roles in subsequent books, each featuring the production of a different genre of television show.

           Barbara has also published 16 cozy mysteries in two series.

           She is married to man she met her senior year at college. They have two grown children, eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

           Now retired, she is a resident of Florida, although she spends her summers in Iowa and Minnesota. She earned her B.A. degree in History from the University of Iowa and her Master’s Degree in History from Drake University.
