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. When management consultant Jordan Wright helps former entertainment attorney, Bart Underwood, successfully complete his first reality game show series, they not only fall for each other, they team up to form UnderWright Productions to produce additional shows. Until their shows gain audiences, their efforts are on a shoestring, with financial help from others. The titles of their shows are the titles of subsequent books in the series. Jordan and Bart continue to plan their future together as secondary characters as new heroes and heroines become the protagonists.
