Kurzbeschreibung
Carrie Jeansonne wasn't looking for trouble or love...but they found her anyway. Can she avoid trouble long enough to give real love a chance?
Her plan for the rest of her life: Education (check), Career (check), Provide for her three teenagers (check), Divorce controlling, horn-dog of a husband (somewhat nasty, but progressing), and find some happiness (not so easy it turns out). The thirty-six year old mother wants to concentrate on her new drafting career in Road Design with no added complications – is that too much to ask?
Enter Sam Langley: Knocking on forty, single, and hating it. Formerly the office clown, his morose mood has prompted his co-workers to dub him 'Oscar the Grouch' in the year since his wife’s departure and his divorce. After clashing with his new, outspoken co-worker, the surveyor can’t help but be drawn to this brassy, sassy lady with her take no prisoner attitude.
Plagued by her ex-husband’s can’t- take-no-for-an-answer intrusions and sleep depriving phone calls, Carrie is reluctant to allow another man into her life. By the time Sam shows promises of becoming more than a friend, the mysterious phone calls lead to something dark and disturbing. As Carrie realizes she could be dealing with more than her disgruntled ex, she struggles to overcome the obstacles threatening her happiness as well as her life.
This is the first volume of my southern Louisiana based La Fleur de Love series. I’m extremely proud of my Cajun heritage and try to inject the flavor and flair of southern Louisiana in the form of food, customs, dialect, or music. So, come on in and 'pass a good time' with my people...all intelligent, witty, and hard working professionals struggling with whatever love and life throws at them.
