After losing her job, apartment, and latest
friend-with-benefits, prize-winning newspaper journalist Cathryn Parker returns
home to Rhode Island and her domineering
mother Rita, six Chihuahuas ,
and the old bedroom she slept in as a kid. Blacklisted for writing an expose on
a philandering Senator, Cathryn takes the only job offered her at Providence
Woman Monthly, if only to escape her mother's constant disapproval.
When asked to write a piece on the lack of love in the lives
of women over a certain age, Cathryn is appalled, as she's part of that
demography. To make things worse, the only way to ensure the magazine stays
afloat and Cathryn keeps her job is if the article is a hit.
A chance meeting with her brother's best friend, Steve,
finds Cathryn battling an emotional roller-coaster. Living under the Disney
delusion that someday her prince would come—Steve is the perfect man,
everything she's ever wanted—but he carries the physical scars of a bomb blast
from Afghanistan and the emotional scars from a fiancée who left him because of
it.
However, when she discovers the secret that her
perfect Prince Charming has been hiding, Cathryn makes a life-changing
decision, especially as she has her own secret to keep.

Sounds like this hits a couple hot topics, Anne/Robynne, so it should be a hit. Best of luck and have a Merry Christmas. :-)
Thanks Linda. I'm hoping for a MERRY Christmas. Same to you and yours.
