However, while in Red Rock, Texas, for his baby sister Wendy’s wedding, a freak tornado strands him in the regional airport with a sassy little waitress whose frank, unvarnished take on life make him reassess what he really wants out of his own…and in large part what he really wants, is Christina Hastings.
But the last thing the cynical Christina needs is another rich boy looking at her like she’s some kind of curiosity, who’ll undoubtedly tire of her as soon as the novelty wears off. She is done with fairytales. Sure, Scott is the most thoughtful, generous man she’s ever known, and although she believes him when he says his life is now in Red Rock, believing in love for the long haul isn’t so easy…leaving Scott having to convince Christina not only that what he feels for her is the real deal, but that he is nothing without her by his side.
It’s the most crucial sales pitch he’ll ever make…
In September 2012, watch out for Book 1 of my new three-book series for Special Edition, set on the Maryland Chesapeake Bay shore (title TBA): The last place Melanie Duncan ever wanted to see again is tiny St. Mary's Cove on Maryland's eastern shore, from which she was effectively banished ten years before. Now an unexpected bequest brings her back -- with her nine-year-old daughter, Quinn -- to face a past she only wants to forget...and the honorary "big brother" she never could. But can Ryder Caldwell forgive Mel for the secret she was forced to keep all this time? And will Mel be able to move past her own issues in order to heal her best friend's broken heart? (Book 2 is scheduled for November 2012, so check out my FB page under Karen Templeton, or follow me on Twitter, for updates on titles, etc.)
