Shortlisted for the RITA long contemporary romance award. You need to learn the rules, fast! Sarah's brother Adam has been educating her best friend Lane in the arts of the Kama Sutra for weeks, all in the pursuit of Lane's real target, David Bennet. So when Sarah finds herself alone with David at an exhibition, weeping over her own terrible dating history, they strike up a conversation. A budding artist, he wants to paint her, so she agrees in return for a guarantee that he'll find her a relationship that can last more than three weeks (her rather dismal personal best). She reassures herself that she isn't betraying Lane. After all, Sarah wants marriage and 2.4 kids, and David has made it more than clear he will never want that. Plus he's going to sleep with Lane any day now. Isn't he?
