Jacques Saint-Etienne is rich, suave and completely out of
Amy's league. They are competitors in a bid for a historic
mill that could mean life or death to Amy's town and her
family. Recently divorced, Amy teeters on the edge of total
ruin and only a miracle can save her.
Jacques holds all the cards and his winning bid leaves Amy
without hope. But Jaques is intrigued by the wholesome Amy.
Accustomed to the beauty and plastic of the jet set and the
companionship of the royalty of England and Europe, he
hopes for a brief passionate fling. But Amy is made of
sterner stuff and leads him a merry but determined chase.
At stake is the lifeblood of a town, as well as the
security, happiness and well-being of Amy and her children.
Jacques, with all his power and wealth, is her opposition,
but he must choose between the reality he believes is his
and the possibilities of a future with Amy.
I love Patricia Rice and SWEET HOME CAROLINA is a
good one.
She dreams of creating a home, sweet home—until an
irresistible stranger turns her life upside-down.
Struggling to get back on her feet after amessy divorce,
dark-haired beauty Amy Warren would love to purchase and
fix up the historic cottage of her dreams. But she needs
something more than the meager income she earns running the
kitchen at the Stardust Café, her sister’s country diner,
to seal the deal. Perhaps she can help both herself and her
beloved North Carolina town by somehow bringing the old
textile mill back to life. But her ingenious plan soon
encounters a major obstacle.
That obstacle is Zack St. Etienne, an outrageously handsome
European businessman who arrives in North Fork with
charisma, cash, and his own plans for the mill. Though
fuming at this unexpected intrusion, Amy cannot deny her
intense attraction to Zack. He’s charming and smart, and
even shows a fondness for her two young children. As this
playful game of hard-to-get becomes a passionate love
affair, Amy and Zack must clean out the cobwebs of their
imperfect pasts so they can open their hearts to what just
might be the perfect romance.
