Every time I went to Borders, I bought a bookmark. Always one of those pretty metal ones with a quote on it. Never used them. They sat in a mug on my shelf as decor.

Can a one-night-stand ever turn into a happily ever after?

Abbie Claret has given up on love after the latest in a string of terrible relationships.

A night of passion with sexy actor Derek Hartley?

Hot.

Getting caught sneaking out the next morning?

Mortifying.

But when their one-night-stand turns into a long weekend of no-strings fun, will Abbie be able to walk away from the feelings she swore off?

Writing advice that changed my sentence

When I was a young writer, I was told that I often started my sentences with "there is/there was/there are." I was told to eliminate those as much as possible.

I couldn't believe how often I used them. My first novel was completely littered with them.

I learned to diversify and grow my use of verbs. Instead of the state-of-being verbs, like "is" which isn't very descriptive at all, I started using stronger verbs.

Instead of writing "There were a bunch of trees on the hill" I wrote "A cluster of trees towered over the hill."

"Towered" is a much stronger verb than "Is"

Use the state-of-being words, but if you can, try replacing them with more active verbs. You might be surprised how much your writing improves.
