BLURB:
Beth Sergeant and Nick Chester come from
opposite ends of the social food chain. While he sees a rare beautiful woman
without an agenda, she sees a wealthy playboy. Can he convince her to let go of
her insecurities and take a chance on love, when challenges from his past force
her to reveal her most guarded secret?
Owner of La Bella Vita, a five-star day spa nestled in the affluent
suburbs of Nashville, Tennessee, Beth Sergeant knows her elite clientele first
hand. She attended their private schools. She was even engaged, although
briefly, to one of their most recognized bachelors. But she never fit in to
their social-elite world.
After losing his parents to a car accident at a young age, Nick Chester
was raised by his grandfather, the wealthiest man in Nashville. When he chooses
to socialize, he has a never-ending list of exclusive events and beautiful
women vying for his attention. Yet he never lets himself forget that everyone
has an agenda.
Beth can’t resist Nick’s charm and accepts an invitation to dinner,
despite her deep-seated insecurities. She proves she’s nothing like other women
Nick's dated and learns to trust him in return. But just as the last of their
resistance crumbles and true love is within reach, challenges from Nick's past
threaten to destroy everything and force Beth to reveal her most guarded
secret.
Excerpt:
“So,
are you still free for dinner tomorrow night?” Nick asked.
“I
am.” Beth could just imagine what she looked like, standing in front of the
craft store with a grin that wouldn’t stop. The temperature had dropped to
thirty degrees and flurries had started to fall a few minutes before they’d
arrived. She loved the winter. Loved the holidays. A ripple went through her
stomach at the thought of possibly sharing Christmas with Nick this year. She
quickly stamped it out. She could give in and let herself be excited about the
date, but thinking further ahead than tomorrow could be a very bad idea.
“We
have reservations at Carlino’s for seven o’clock if that works for you.”
“Really?
You’ll have to tell me your secret. I didn’t think you’d be able to pull it
off.”
She
heard him laugh. “I can’t tell you all my secrets. My grandfather’s cook was a
big stretch.”
“I
bet I can get the truth out of you by the end of dinner.” Beth couldn’t believe
her own flirting, yet he played along. Something about him drew the words out
of her without thinking.
“Hmm.
I don’t know.” He paused. “I might be willing to trade secrets. You’ll have to
go first, since I’m already one ahead.”
“What
if I don’t have any?”
“Everyone
has secrets.” He chuckled.
She
loved the sound of his voice. And his laugh. Warmth filled her, despite the
chill in the air and the snow continuing to fall.
AUTHOR Bio and Links:
Home is where
you hang your hat. A native Missourian, my family relocated twice during my
teenage years, taking me from a high school freshman class of over 1,200
students to living in a small town in Kentucky with a total population of less
than 1,000.
Home is where
your heart is. Despite the culture shock and challenges of those shy, teenage
years, I met my true love in that tiny town and I couldn’t be more grateful for
the opportunity to experience a community where everyone waves, calls you by
name, and treats you like family.
My husband
and I live in the suburbs of Nashville, Tennessee with our eighteen-year-old
son and three dogs. When I’m not working or writing, I can be found with family
and friends. I love to bake in the winter, grill in the summer, and on
occasion, I sneak away from everyone and curl up with a good book.
I hope you
enjoy my stories. Each one touches on modern day issues, fears, and challenges
that women face every day. And each one illustrates that love is within reach
if you let down those walls and allow your heart to open. Our lives and
experiences are so much more meaningful when we have someone to share them
with.
