Sweet Home Carolina

Romance Contemporary

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.

SUMMARY

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.
