Hott Synopsis:

Emma returns to the place where she was raised to find a complete mess. Her sister is divorced and chasing another man, her mother has moved out, and her father is happy his house is peaceful. Maybe the last true love died with her Poppi this week.

Emma’s been wondering for a while if this whole love thing would ever get around to her and with another Valentines in the offing she’s sure she’s been skipped yet again.

Then there’s Lane, the man Emma’s sister claims to love, is he really all he’s pretending? If so, why does he keep flirting with the wrong sister?

Author Bio:

Melody Carlson has written around 200 books for teens, women and children. That’s a lot of books, but mostly she considers herself a “storyteller.” Her books range from serious issues like schizophrenia (Finding Alice) to lighter topics like house-flipping (A Mile in My Flip-Flops) but most of the inspiration behind her fiction comes right out of real life. Her young adult novels (Diary of a Teenage Girl, TrueColors etc.) appeal to teenage girls around the world. Her annual Christmas novellas become more popular each year. She’s won a number of awards (including the Rita and Gold Medallion) and some of her books have been optioned for film/TV. Carlson has two grown sons and makes her home in the Pacific Northwest with her husband and yellow Lab dog. To find out more about Melody Carlson, visit her website at www.melodycarlson.com
