What the Lady Wants Crusie, Jennifer

**What the Lady Wants** by Jennifer Crusie is pure romantic comedy gold that'll have you snort-laughing on public transport. Mae Sullivan thinks she's hiring a detective to investigate her late husband's business partner, but ends up with Mitch Peabody—a guy more interested in her than her case. What starts as a simple investigation spirals into corporate shenanigans, sexual tension, and Mae discovering what she actually wants from life (spoiler: it's not what she expected).

This contemporary romance perfectly balances steamy chemistry with genuine laughs, exploring themes of self-discovery, second chances, and breaking free from expectations. Perfect for fans of witty banter, strong heroines, and heroes who aren't afraid to be vulnerable.

Crusie, a former academic turned romance queen, crafts characters who feel refreshingly real. Ideal for readers who love contemporary romance with actual substance.

This preloved paperback from Patina Paperbacks is ready for its next adventure.

*"Crusie's dialogue sparkles—I couldn't put it down!"*
*"Finally, a romance where both characters have functioning brain cells. Hilarious and heartwarming."*
