to call me ‘Cheeky Charlie’. That’s how I got my name; she said my middle name was better suited to me.”
    â€œWait. Charlie’s not your first name?”
    â€œNo, but the name stuck so I’ve always used it. Haven’t I ever told you this?”
    A lump formed in Anna’s throat and she gulped it down. “So, what’s your legal name?” Her heart pounded in anticipation.
    â€œKane,” he replied. “Kane Charlie Saunders.”
    Anna’s heart beat faster and an unstoppable smile arched into her cheeks. So the psychic and Lulu had been right after all. If she hadn’t stayed open to all possibilities she might never have discovered this.
    â€œDoes my name please you that much?” Charlie asked, clearly amused by her goofy grin.
    â€œIt does actually.” She took the soggy newspaper from under his arm and tossed it onto the nearest park bench. “It’s a beautiful name.” She took his hands and entwined her fingers with his.
    A cute smile graced his face. “So, now that you’re a soon-to-be household name, do you think you can get me an audition for the leading male role in this movie?”
    Anna pouted. “Unfortunately the role’s been filled. They won’t tell me who yet. But. . .” She twisted her lips to one corner. “I do know of another opportunity for a leading man.”
    â€œOh yeah? In what?”
    Anna leaned in and placed her mouth near his ear. “In my life.”
    His smile deepened and he slid his arms around her waist. “Can I get an audition?”
    She threaded her arms under his and spread her palms against his muscular back. “No need. The job’s all yours.”
    Charlie tickled her nose with his, then tilted his head and pressed his lips against hers. Softly, they explored each other, the lightning bolt of bliss she’d felt with Karl a mere flicker compared to the colorful explosion of fireworks going off right now in her belly. Sparks of passion shot through every cell, every nerve tingling with potential, and she knew without a doubt that this was a sign of things to come, a beautiful beginning to her new life – to their New Lives .

    From the author of Fast Forward comes a story about three wishes, a high-tech genie in a lamp, and one very unfortunate typo. . .
    Getting three wishes isn’t all it’s cracked up to be when an unfortunate spelling error in Mandy’s high-tech magic lamp changes her wish for a Greek God to a Geek God.

Before Mandy can request a replacement wish, she has to put up with him for twenty four hours, and the timing couldn’t be worse — it’s her friend’s wedding day, her ex will be there, and the God of Geeks insists on coming along for the ride!
