"One night. One perfect night. I would be happy with that, with the memory… – Emily Proctor, regarding Scott Dillon"Plain Fane" Emily Proctor had about as much chance of dating the perfectly gorgeous and now-famous Scott Dillon as she did of waking up in a model-size body. But her best friends, The Girlfriends, were determined to grant Emily her fondest wish. Oh, well, it couldn't hurt to give their plan a try…Scott was only back in town to help his family. Once he'd put things right, he was outta there. Except, he'd forgotten the charm of small-town life, the comfort of old friends–like Emily. There was something different about her…. Something that might possibly give Scott a reason to stay.The Girlfriends' Guide to…: Sometimes, all it take to find true love is a little help from a special circle of friends

“I saw Scott Dillon,” Emily told Hope.

“You’re kidding. How? Where? What did he say? Did he notice your gorgeous new look?” Hope grabbed Emily’s shirt and pulled her toward the track. There were quite a few people running, even at six in the morning.

Emily started jogging. If you could call it that. “It wasn’t pretty, Hope. I’d fallen flat on my rear in the middle of the hallway outside my classroom. He helped me up.”

“Was it incredible? Did your eyes meet and—”

“I looked like death warmed over, and he didn’t blink an eye.”

They jogged in silence for a while. “I bet there was more. You probably just didn’t see it.”

Emily didn’t argue. She wiped the sweat from her eyes, pulled up her sagging sweats and moved aside as she heard a runner approaching from behind.

“Hey!” the runner said as he reached her side.

“Emily, I didn’t know you ran.”

Oh no.

Emily smiled at the man, with his windswept hair and perfectly muscled chest. Perfect.

Scott Dillon.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Jo Leigh currently lives just outside Las Vegas, Nevada, where she still can’t get used to the slot machines in the grocery stores. Storytelling has always been a part of her life, whether as a producer in Hollywood, a screenwriter or a novelist. It probably began when she told her third grade teacher that elephants ate her homework.

Chapter One

The Girlfriends’ Sixteenth Anniversary

Emily Proctor poured each of her girlfriends another frozen daiquiri. Midori daiquiris, to be precise. And, if one was getting picky about such things, they weren’t really just girlfriends, they were The Girlfriends. Sworn to be there for each other through thick and thin. Together by choice, forged by sixteen years of school and parents and boyfriends and…oh, just everything.

“I shouldn’t be drinking this,” Lily said, but only after she’d taken a really big swallow. “I have to take JT to soccer at eight in the morning.” She shuddered dramatically, making her impromptu ponytail wave back and forth. “The sitter can’t. She’s going to Dallas first thing tomorrow.”

“Why don’t you call Glen Cassidy…? He has to take Cody, so maybe he’ll pick up JT, too.”

Lily turned to Hope Francis. The polar opposite of Lily, Hope was five foot one to Lily’s five foot seven, and Hope had dark hair, almost black. It was trimmed in a dramatic sort of pageboy. Really angular, though. On her, it worked. She looked exotic, especially with her Winona Ryder eyes, made smoky by the liberal use of black kohl and powder. Not to mention the fire-engine red lipstick, which was mostly on the rim of her glass. The problem with Hope, at least in her own eyes, was that she looked about seventeen, and it drove her insane.

Lily smiled broadly as she uncurled her legs and got up off the couch to follow up on that excellent advice. “That’s why we keep you here, Hope. Because you’re beautiful and brilliant.”

Hope smiled demurely. Then she burped. Loudly.

Everyone cracked up as Emily crawled back on the hotel room bed and scrunched the pillow beneath her. It was so good to be together like this. All of them. Hope, Lily, Sam, Zoey and Julia. The Girlfriends.

They’d met in Mrs. Mann’s fifth-grade class, at Sheridan elementary school. They’d bonded over their outrage at Paul Morrison’s obnoxious game of pulling up their dresses on the playground.

Emily wondered for a moment what had happened to Paul. But that wasn’t important. What was important was that the six of them had come together like pieces of a puzzle. They’d all fit.

As she sipped her drink, Zoey turned the topic to her hair, as she did every year, complaining that it was too red, too curly, too hideous to be shown in public. It was utter nonsense, and the rest of the girls told her so. Every year.
