Cottonbloom is a southern town. On the Louisiana side of the
bridge, the blue collar folks live and work. The four Abbott
brothers, Wyatt, Jackson, Mack, and Ford are trying to keep
the garage their beloved father owned and operated until his
death. Wyatt, good looking and charming, is the bad boy who
loves to party, everyone adores him, especially the
ladies. His prime interest, however, is to plan and perfect
a project. Find a car in need of special attention to bring
it back to its original beauty. He is talented at restoring
automobiles and when he finishes the task, he sells them at
auction for a hefty profit and moves on to find another.
Sutton Mize is a good girl who lives on the Mississippi
side. She is the daughter of a judge and the co-owner of an
upscale boutique with her sister. She is engaged to an
up-and-coming attorney, Andrew Tarwater. Andrew works at
Tarwater and Tarwater, attorneys, who handle everything from
personal injury to criminal defense.
Sutton was the childhood crush of Wyatt and when she drives
into the shop driving a cherry red Camaro, he whistled. The
car was a beauty but so was the driver. They have a sweet
reunion, remembering their childhood when Wyatt always
teased her. After they discussed details about the
refurbishing of the Camaro, Wyatt suggested cleaning out the
glove box. Inside were stacks of receipts from fancy and
expensive restaurants. Sutton looked baffled, became quiet,
then upset. "Make sure you look under the seats."
Voila! Wyatt held up a black, very brief thong with a red
heart embroidered on the hip. "Is this yours?" Suddenly all
the pieces of the puzzle fell into place. All the late
nights working, broken dates at the last minute, and no sex
in months, what was her fiance up to? She should have been
more upset. Why wasn't she? She began to tell Wyatt her
suspicions and he was a great listener and gave her some
advice. "Don't get mad, Get even." When she confronted
Andrew he soft pedaled it but her BFF, Bree, could not hide
her shame. The thong was special ordered for her by Sutton
to match Bree's heart tattoo so she was guilty as charged.
So much for that friendship. To save some dignity, Sutton
told Bree and Andrew she did not care because she and Wyatt
have been together in a sexual relationship for many months.
With Wyatt by her side, they begin a magical journey to get
to know and love each other.

small town charm. You will quickly fall in love with Wyatt,
sure to become your newest book boy friend. He is handsome,
a stud, sweet, thoughtful, funny and always patient. He

Jackson, brings happy tears.
There are many steamy moments as Wyatt teaches Sutton about
making love. Love, betrayal, revenge that is oh! so sweet,
will have the pages flying in this tangled web until the
ending. I loved LEAVE THE LIGHTS ON and will be sure to
return to Cottonbloom for the next chapter. Ms. Trentham has
a new fan and I look forward to more. Lovely characters, and
an icing on the cake ending!
