Every apartment building contains its own story. And the people within the walls most often stay contained - except for careful interaction in the elevator or between loading and unloading laundry machines. But sometimes, something happens that brings them together. Sparks of lust, love or intrigue. Life changing moments of emotion, a crisis of mind and body. And when this happens, the most surprising people step forward to be counted. And healing happens on many levels. What will you find On the Inside...?
The elite trainers at Body Management Corporation (BMC) have more than sculpting the perfect body on their minds. Working with hot rock stars and professional athletes, they spend as much time between the sheets as on the treadmill. Head trainer, Dean Stoddard, is known for his good looks and stunning bedroom endurance with his more than willing clients. Orlanda Kennedy, one of Dean's colleagues, is an exquisite goddess on a quest for success and wealth. Orlanda despises the shallowness of the fitness industry and the simple-minded men she works with. She uses her curves and intelligence to manipulate the men who lust after her, to maintain control of the situation - and the men. Dean can't deny his attraction to Orlanda but refuses to give her the satisfaction of turning him down, so he desires her in quiet from a distance - until he thinks she sends him a signal to approach for landing. Orlanda's plot for domination unfolds around BMC's owner, Zack Johnston, who is in a power struggle with his business partner, and in another kind of struggle with Leena Ryan, the mysterious woman who seduced him during a flight and hasn't let him rest since. She is about to push Zack into a whole new understanding of the word "action", causing him to question himself and everything around him. Luckily, Zack has Keith Langley, his right-hand man and head trainer, keeping him grounded and protecting the business. Keith is a natural leader who longs for love instead of one-night stands. Burned out rock stars, sex-driven sports stars, clients who tempt, and trainers who accept, round out the roster of characters in this page-turning, intriguing romp of a novel. You'll get to laugh at 'em, love 'em and want to join them Praise for Inches: "If you think the world of fitness and personal trainers is all about sit-ups, crunches, and sweating on a treadmill-think again Inches Aren't Everything is a sexy and exuberant romp through the boardrooms and the bedrooms of some very intriguing people.
