Not the plan : a novel / by De Cadenet, Gia,author.;
"Back Isadora Maris loves her job. And she's damn good at it. After nearly a decade in state politics, stonewalling senators and aggressive lobbyists are no match for her diplomacy and unflappable commitment to her principles. If all goes according to plan, she'll be managing her boss's successful race for U.S. representative and finally fulfilling her dream: congressional aide in Washington, D.C., where she can really make a difference. But Isadora's cool professionalism is knocked off kilter when she meets Karim Sarda, the newly-hired legislative director of her boss's biggest political rival-and the biggest pain in her neck. He's gorgeous, brilliant, and seems to share many of her ideals. So why's he working for the California senate's most notorious jerk? Given their bosses' fierce political rivalry despite being on the same side of the aisle, Isadora deems Karim off limits, despite the heat she feels whenever he's in the room. Her fear of tarnishing her reputation by flirting with the enemy is compounded by the fact that she was taught to believe nothing she ever did was good enough. Karim knows that struggle all too well: He's still processing the wounds left by his former marriage. As the late nights working together on an ambitious healthcare bill add up, both start to realize that maybe their biggest rival might also be the one who knows-and loves-them best"--

Yours truly / by Jimenez, Abby,author.;
"Dr. Briana Ortiz's life is seriously flatlining. Her divorce is just about finalized, her brother's running out of time to find a kidney donor, and that promotion she wants? Oh, that's probably going to the new man-doctor who's already registering eighty-friggin'-seven on Briana's 'pain in my ass' scale. But just when all systems are set to hate, Dr. Jacob Maddox completely flips the game ... by sending Briana a letter. And it's a really good letter.

Because suddenly he and Bri are exchanging letters, sharing lunch dates in her 'sob closet,' and discussing the merits of freakishly tiny horses. But when Jacob decides to give Briana the best gift imaginable--a kidney for her brother--she wonders just how she can resist this quietly sexy new doctor ... especially when he calls in a favor she can't refuse"--
