News At 11
by Paris Dixon
ISBN: 1-59279-274-X (Electronic)
Enchanted In Romance
2005—Best Short Story of the Year Award!
At first, driven and ultra-professional Savannah newswoman Tess Iverson has more than a few serious reservations about sharing the spotlight on her news show with a recently hired co-anchor, a young, inexperienced hot-shot from New York City.
Her reservations, however, swiftly redouble and become sheer panic when she meets the charming and drop-dead-gorgeous Yankee, Jared Cox, whose engaging smile, hypnotic eyes, and sculpted physique engender desires she has long supressed.
And faster than she can say "Welcome to the Eleven O'Clock News," Tess finds it impossible to keep her mind on business—or her hands to herself—even during the broadcast...

Read what the reviewers are saying...
"Road To Romance Recommended Read!...A contemporary setting, drive and sensuality come alive in the pages of this hot, short and very fulfilling story by Paris Dixon. The characters, Tess and Jared, are a handful! They have grit, determination, attitude and readers are gonna love 'em! These two characters set the place on fire with their sexual tension and the sexual acts themselves. Tess and Jared don't let anyone stand in their way of obtaining their goals and they both want the same thing...the job and each other. So much energy a reader can feel it in every nerve ending and every spot on their body. News like this has never been so exciting! Be ready for News at 11—it's a hell of a ride!"—Tracey West, Road To Romance
"5 Unicorns!...This story drags you into the conflagration between Tess and Jared. Their television competition is far from over, the heat that is unleashed between these two can’t be denied. The reader is left wondering just how will it all work out and will there be a sequel. Paris Dixon does an admirable job of putting us on the television set with Jared and Tess. Women can especially identify with Tess’s concern regarding the “ol’ boy network,” job security and her sensuality...Don’t miss this one."—Eden, Enchanted In Romance
"4 1/2 Stars!...A fast-paced short story that kept me glued to my seat (in more ways than one) until I finished it. Tess is a hard-nosed career woman and I must say initially I had little sympathy for her. To me she had sacrificed her femininity to her career. However, Ms. Dixon skillfully drops hints as to the reasons for Tess’s attitude and in the end, I actually quite liked Tess. Ms. Dixon’s description of Jared Cox was enough to make me melt. Handsome and sexy enough to make a nun forget her vows, Jared is 100% pure male. Tess struggles hard to gain the upper hand, but Jared is equal to the task of ensuring that their partnership will be mutually satisfying, both on-screen and off. Ms. Dixon’s characters seem to make foreplay a test of endurance (for the reader as well!). When sexual tension finally reaches breaking point, be prepared for a raunchy, heated sex-marathon. A good story, believable characters and steamy sex—this book has earned its permanent place on my keeper shelf."—Michelle Naumann, Just Erotic Romance Reviews
"4 1/2 Stars!...Paris Dixon has written another highly erotic romance where the sex scenes between these characters sizzle across the pages. Even though Ms. Dixon writes a short story, she is able to make you feel the emotion between Tess and Jared. If it’s written by Paris Dixon, then I can highly recommend it."—Sharon, Sizzling Romances
"4 Cups!...Tess and Jared are both strong individuals with well defined goals and aspirations. The characters are well developed and complement the storyline very well. The love scenes are very descriptive and fit into the overall plot seamlessly. I enjoyed News at 11 immensely. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves a hot story with strong characters in a contemporary setting. Ms. Dixon is a very talented author and I look forward to reading more of her work in the future."—Susan White, Coffee Time Romance
"...This was a fast read that had me grinning at Tess’s antics and her determination to get rid of Jared...I enjoyed his quirky sense of humor in the face of her antagonism. It isn’t until the end that the reader gets to see Tess’s comeuppance, but it proves that even the hardest of women still need the love of a good man. News At 11 is as steamy as the location it was set in. It’s filled with passionate characters and erotic love scenes that will have you hooked to the very end."—Sarah, Fallen Angels
"4 Hearts!...This was a first for me and this author. I've never read anything by Ms. Dixon but I'm sure I'll be looking for more. The story idea was very unique
and funny and sexually exciting and just plain good. I loved Tess's fiery personality and Jared's I-know-you're-hot-for-me-so-what'er-you-gonna-do-about-it attitude. The ending was really intense and by this point the sexual tension was almost unbearable. I love every word of it! Don't miss this quick, hot read!"—Amy L. Turpin, The Romance Studio
"4 Roses!...News At 11 is a short story and one that you might not want to miss. Yes, all the interaction happens at the news station. I mean ALL the action. Can Tess’ plan backfire on her or get her exactly what she really wants? To find out how these two news anchors broadcast the news, what happens under the desk and in the dressing rooms, read News At 11. It isn’t your typical newscast."—Pam, A Romance Review
"News has never been so hot or interesting as it is in this story. Paris
Dixon gives us a look inside at the competitive world of journalism and how sometimes we don't know what's good for us, especially when we think that all we need is to focus on one goal and ignore other factors in our life. This is an erotic story whose ending will make you wonder and more. Sometimes we need a distraction, a release from our own narrow ways and yes, sometimes hot, sultry, no-bars-held sex can be the release that's truly needed. Paris has truly made a story that not only heats up the airwaves, but also the print."—Cyndi Witkus, In The Library Reviews
Read a short excerpt...
…Once again, Jared exited the bathroom, making no attempt to mask his mocking smile or to cover his partial nudity. A gentleman might have at least feigned modesty, thought Tess, but then again, with a physique such as this man possessed, he certainly had no reason in the world to feel the least bit ashamed. Oh, God, yes, she could definitely picture him strutting about naked in her condo, giving her a private show like he did last evening in her fantasies…
"What?" she asked, suddenly cognizant that he had said something, but too caught up in her remembrances to have made sense of it.
"Listening really is a problem for you, huh? I said, you never answered my question."
"Question? Refresh my memory."
"I wanted to know if you always get so tongue-tied around men"—he strutted across the dressing room, just as he had a moment ago in her reverie, and rooted himself before her—"or is it just me?"
Her mouth went desert dry, while her heart thumped a rhythm of wanton longing against her eardrums. In all honesty, no man had ever had this affect on her, not even her ex-fiancé. She couldn't seem to train her eyes to remain on Jared's face; her gaze kept embarking on a magnificent voyage through his sea of chest hair, following the waterfall of fur that led to his belly and beyond. She had to fist her hands to keep her fingers from tearing the towel from his waist and fondling the part of him she yearned to devour. "It's not just you—I mean, it is just you and—I mean—"
"You know, Tess, perhaps if you spent more time with men on a personal level, instead of attempting to compete with them on a business level, you'd be a lot more comfortable in their company…happier… satisfied…"
"This is totally inappropriate!"
"Is that so? Then why don't you leave? What's stopping you?"
"I came here to talk to you—and—and I won't leave until we clear the air."
"About what?"
"Huh?"
He lifted his right arm and snatched her chin with his thumb and index finger, tilting her head backward, dragging her gaze from his belly button and to his face. The sexy dimples appeared in his cheeks when his mouth twisted into a lecherous grin. "Clear the air about what?"
It took her a full five seconds to realize he'd had to physically stop her from ogling his nudity, and her cheeks filled with a raging inferno of chagrin. "I want to know your intentions…"
