Sydney Gordon , part time actress, postgrad educator and
substitute teacher, was used to expressing a gamut of
emotions, especially with her previous love life where she
was used to being duped, dumped and disillusioned by men.
So why now the empty void as she stared down at the
glittering perfect one-carat emerald-cut diamond engagement
ring presented to her by the everything perfected in place
and financially secure and perfect gentleman in the
perfectly appropriate restaurant?
Sydney's mother, Meredith Gordon, certainly wouldn't have
any trouble accepting this fate for her daughter. In fact,
she would probably disown her if she doesn't accept this
perfect man and this perfect ring, so what can she do?
When in doubt, procrastinate! A time-honoured way out and
one that at least stopped the tick in her eye! So, with a
deep sign of relief, Sydney asks Henry to wait till she
comes back from Europe and wings her way to Paris to help
shepherd students on a school tour.
With an eye on landing a full time teaching position,
Sydney vowed to do her outstanding best on this trip, but,
even before the first day is out, she manages to mangle
Nick Martelli, a fellow chaperone on this trip. Then, like
cats tripping on hot wires, Nick and Sydney hiss and
sizzle at each other while sparks fly between them for the
rest of the trip.
With a black eye from checking out an imaginary scene to be
developed into a novel, Nick doesn't convey a sense of
comfort and financial security to Sydney, yet he manages to
make her smile and laugh in a way that perfectly reliable
Henry could not. Meanwhile, stateside, Henry tracks down
Sydney's neighbour and good friend, Harley Maxwell, and
finds a winning hand that he never expected!
Terry McLaughlin has a smashing hit on her hands with this
delightful tale of Sydney's journey to true love. With a
cast of quirky, yet very real characters, this author will
immediately pull you so strongly into this story where you
will laugh and cry, feel the triumph, and heart wrenching
pain! This book just has to be made into a film, as I
want to go see it! It's a solid gold read that will make
your heart laugh!
Marry the perfect man...or fall for the perfect stranger?
Charismatic Nick Martelli is all smoldering good looks and
animal
magnetism. Unfortunately, he's not the man Sydney Gordon
is nearly
engaged to--the man who's waiting for her to come back from
Europe and
accept his marriage proposal.
And Nick's certainly not what you'd think of as ideal
husband material.
Sydney needs somebody steady to help her rein in her
impulsive nature...
