“All I ever wanted in
life was true love, a set of
copper cookware, and the perfect recipe for Red Velvet
cake. The last thing I wanted was to end up on Charleston’s
six o’clock news, accused of murder and a slew of other
crimes.”
So begins the story of Teeny Templeton, out-of-work
Charleston
pastry chef. The first bit of trouble in which Teeny finds
herself
is when she catches her fiance playing naked badminton with
two
other women, which compels her to climb a peach tree and
begin
hurling peaches at him. Needless to say, the engagement is
over,
and her fiance slaps her with a restraining order. When he
is
found dead a few days later, all fingers point to Teeny.
Her only
hope is an old boyfriend-turned-lawyer, the guy who broke
her
heart a decade ago. But dredging up the past brings more
than
skeletons out of the closet, and Teeny doesn’t know who she
can
trust. With evidence mounting and the heat turning up, Teeny
must also figure out where to live, how to support herself,
how
to clear her name, and how to protect her heart.
Gone with A Handsomer Man is funny, sweet, tender,
and full of
surprises. Readers will beg to see more of Teeny in her next
adventure, A Teeny Bit of Trouble.
