There are three short stories in this one volume about curvy women and the men who love themIn The Curve Ball we meet Maggie Jones and Jake Rawlins. Maggie is the owner and operator of a bakery that specializes in Chocolates. Jake is the owner of a contractor firm. Since first coming to town a year ago, Jake has been trying to get Maggie to go out with him. Maggie thinks that Jake is just kidding when he asks her for a date, so she responds accordingly. When Maggie's best friend Lisa asks her to attend a charity function in order to help her keep her job, Maggie can't say no, but also knows that whoever she gets partnered with will be disappointed by his plus-sized match. She's shocked when she realizes that her date for the night is none other than Jake.In The Beast Loves Curves, we meet Abbie Wright, a computer programmer &  website designer who has just been given the task of designing a charity website for local businessman and wealthy entrepreneur Ian Campbell who is recovering from a severe car crash. Even before his accident, Ian was known as the Beast because of his high demands from those who work for him, so Abbie is woefully unprepared for the flirtatious man she meets. She's even more woefully unprepared for the sparks that fly between them.In Curved By Design, we meet nurse Molly Whitney and Devon Richards, the brother of one of her best friends. Molly had previously met Devon when she attended his parents anniversary party with her friend Dylan. She was awed by how quickly they seemed to connect and was surprised when Devon whisked her out to the patio and proceeded to shower her in hot kisses. However, when they get interrupted by Dylan, Molly is hurt by Devon's actions afterwards. Fast forward six months later when Molly has been invited to Dylan's engagement party to her other best friend Lauren. While truly happy for Dylan & Lauren, Molly dreads seeing Devon again and the dread is not helped by her mother's constant harping about her weight. After all, she figures that Devon must have been turned off when he felt her curves and realized she was overweight- right?
