As Long As She Needs Me
For ten long years, Oscar Campbell has done everything from picking up his boss's drycleaning to FedExing her tropical fish. His job as personal assistant to a legendary -- and temperamental -- publisher in New York City has given him more headaches than leg-ups. Yet none of Oscar's experiences has prepared him for his greatest challenge: planning his boss's wedding. Juggling his unappreciated duties as a publishing assistant with those of a pro bono wedding planner, Oscar labors to pull together the event of the year without falling apart in the process. Help arrives in the form of popular wedding columnist Lauren LaRose, with whom Oscar strikes a bargain: his editorial expertise for her nuptial advice. As the two work together to manufacture the romances of others, they will stumble into one of their own. Hilarious and wise, literate and charming, As Long As She Needs Me is a sparkling fable of love and luck in Manhattan.

- "From the Publisher: Anyone who has worked for someone else knows the endless routine, the twisted psychology, and the near-impossible obstacle course that are the terrain of the assistant, And anyone who has gotten married knows that planning a wedding is a similarly daunting task. For 10 years, Oscar Campbell ash worked as the personal assistant to the legendary Dawn-renowned for her tantrums as well as her success as the head of Dawn Books, a powerful New York City publishing house-when she orders him to plan her wedding.
