Plot Summary of Shipping Sharon
"Catching bony-assed Sharon Chaney in bed with her husband turns chunky Maisy Morganfield's life upside down. Finally, transformed through a significant weight-loss, Maisy is set to exact her long awaited, sweet revenge on her rotten, cheating ex-husband. The fact that the SOB has dropped dead of a heart attack in the act of cheating on his new wife, Sharon, complicates matters.

Paying her final "disrespects" at the funeral home, Maisy meets her dreamboat--only to discover that Keller Chaney is Sharon's brother, which makes him as good as poison in Maisy's book.

Much to Maisy's chagrin, her zany, but loveable boss insists on playing matchmaker--leading to a series of hilarious dilemmas.

A certified chocoholic, Maisy copes with the embarrassing predicaments in the most logical way possible--by trying to commit "chocolatcide."
"
