Hope Ramsay's "Keep Your Cool, Darlin' "
Win a $25 Cold Stone Creamery Gift Card
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!
INN AT LAST CHANCE
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?
