Agreeing to go to a wedding with a guy she gets stuck with in an elevator is something Lucia hills wouldn’t normally do. But there’s something about Avon Carson that’s too hard to resist. On the eve of his ex’s wedding festivities, Avon is minus a plus one. Until a power outage strands him with the perfect candidate for a fake girlfriend… After Lucia and Avon have more fun than they ever thought possible, Avon has to fly back to Los Angeles and his job as a pediatric surgeon, and Lucia heads home to San Francisco, where she’s the mayor’s chief of staff. Too bad they can’t stop thinking about the other… They’re just two high-powered professionals on a collision course toward the long distance dating disaster of the century–or closing the gap between what they think they need and what they truly want…

Lucia stood in front of her closet, staring blankly at the clothes hanging before her. she was feeling a little anxious. "What am I going to wear?" she asked herself, feeling a sense of panic rising up. Just then, her phone buzzed with an incoming text from her friend, Diana. "Hey, girl! What's up?" Diana asked. Lucia smiled, feeling a sense of relief wash over her. She quickly typed out a response. "Hey! I'm freaking out about what to wear on my date tonight. Want to come over and help me pick out a dress?" Diana responded almost immediately. "OMG, yes! I'll be right there." Few minutes later, Diana arrived bearing a bottle of wine and a determined look on her face. "Okay, let's get down to business," she said, setting the wine down on the coffee table. "Show me what you've got." Lucia laughed and led Diana to her closet. Together, they began browsing through the racks, pulling out dresses and examining them critically. Diana held up a bright red dress. "What about this one?"

Lucia stepped off the elevator and onto the bustling floors of city halls. She took a deep breath, feeling the familiar hum of the office energize her. It was good to be back at work. As she made her way to her office, Lucia couldn't help but think about the previous night's dinner celebration. Her sister Susan made partner at a firm. She had just been promoted to senior partner, and they had decided to celebrate in style. They had dined at one of Berkeley top restaurants, indulging in champagne and fine wine. Lucia chuckled to herself as she remembered the two of them stumbling out of the restaurant, giggling and holding onto each other for support. They had definitely had a bit too much to drink. As she settled into her office, Lucia’s phone buzzed with an incoming text from her colleague and friend Diana. "Hey, want to grab coffee and catch up?" Diana asked.

“Which way is she?” They both looked up at the arrow signs by the elevator bank. “This way,” she said, pointing to the left. He consulted his room key. “Ah, I’m that way.” He pointed to the right. They smiled at each other and didn’t say anything for a moment. “I can honestly say that I’ve never had a more entertaining time in an elevator. Thanks for that.” He reached out a hand. “Likewise.” Lucia shook it. “Good luck at the wedding.” He laughed and grimaced. “Don’t remind me. Congratulations to your sister.” She thanked him and walked down the hall toward Susan room. She wished she knew what else she could or should have said to keep talking to him longer. She sighed and kept walking. “Lucia. Wait.” This was crazy. Avon knew, objectively, that what he was about to do was crazy. But as she turned to walk away, he shouted for her to stop a split second later. “Yeah?” She turned. “You can’t have the rest of the cheese, not even as a parting gift.” Okay, here was his opport

Lucia hills walked into the Lacoste hotel in Berkeley that Wednesday night wearing her favorite red heels, feeling jittery from coffee, and carrying a bottle of champagne in her purse. She took out her phone to text her sister, Susan, upstairs in one of the guest rooms. It was always good to give Susan a little more advance warning than most people. It didn’t matter that Susan had just made partner at her New York law firm; some things didn’t change. Oh no, was just about to get in the shower. Lucia got Susan’s text just as she stepped into the elevator. She laughed out loud as she pushed the number of her sister’s floor, the laughter calming her nerves.
