It might not officially be summer until June
21st, but the heat and humidity have already
settled in over Last Chance, South Carolina. Yes, it is hot
and steamy here! Southerners have a variety of long-standing
traditions to battle the heat, including slow-turning
ceiling fans, tall condensation-covered glasses of sweet tea
and evenings spent on the front porch awaiting a snatch of
cool breeze. One of my all-time favorite stay-cool
strategies is indulging with a big bowl of strawberry ice
cream. This month enter my contest to win a $25 gift card
to Cold Stone Creamery and an autographed copy of my
most recent release, Inn
at Last Chance. Whether you prefer chocolate chip,
vanilla or pecan ice cream, here's wishing you a wonderful
summertime!
Jenny Carpenter is the unrivaled pie-baking champion of Last
Chance, South Carolina's annual Watermelon Festival and the
town's unofficial spinster. With her dream of marriage and
children on hold, she focuses on another dream, turning the
local haunted house into a charming bed-and-breakfast. But
her plans go off course when the home's former owner shows
up on her doorstep on a dark and stormy night . . .
Mega-bestselling horror writer Gabriel Raintree is as
mysterious and tortured as his heroes. His family's
long-deserted mansion is just the inspiration he needs to
finish his latest twisted tale, or so he thinks until he
learns it's been sold. The new innkeeper proves to be as
determined as she is kind, and soon Gabriel finds himself a
paying guest in his own home. As Jenny and Gabe bring new
passion to the old house, can she convince him to leave the
ghosts of his past behind-and make Last Chance their first
choice for a future together?
