description: All she wanted was a little romance.  All she got was love...
  
  YOU'RE SINGLE, BROKE AND ABOUT TO GO OUT ON A DATE WITH A WISPY GOON.  ISN'T
  LIFE ROMANTIC!
  
  Gretchen Griner is the underpaid, under-appreciated photographer for the AUSTIN (that's Texas!) GRACKLE, part-time lover of Peter Overton Treadwell  III  (known as "Trout"), and a major consumer of Cup O'Soup.
  
  That is until she meets Lizzie Potts, otherwise known as Viveca Lamoureaux, romance writer extraordinaire.  Lizzie has a plan for Gretchen's life -- and it includes her brother Gus Kubiak.  Gretchen has a plan for Gretchen's life, and it does not include a "wispy goon" named Gus.  Somewhere in between the two are about to together.  Well, sort of... Lizzie will give Gretchen Gus, and Gus will give Gretchen the man of her dreams, and someone is going to find out what true romance is really all about!
