    About this ebook

    Britty’s twenty-four year old daughter just had another ‘bout’ last week, this time she tossed her boyfriend’s air conditioning unit out the window and onto the hood of his car three stories down... while he was sitting in it.

    With her daughter tucked away for a few months in a behavioral health hospital, Britty decides to rent a house on the island and spend some well earned time with her sister, and away from her daughter. She soon finds herself charmed by the sexy retired doctor next door. Doc Gentry’s quirky ways make her laugh, which is something she hasn’t done in quite some time.

    However, when his unusual behavior shocks her, she quickly discovers that Gentry’s friends think he has a sinister secret that he’s harboring . He’s sold his family home downtown and retired from his practice and now does basically nothing.

    Britty’s sister urges her to get to know him, and in that effort she accepts his invitation to a private party. Arriving late, she walks into an affair that is way out of hand, and all hopes of getting to know him seem to vanish into thin air.

    But Doc Gentry’s persistence finally wins her over, and he offers a quiet dinner to make up for the party debacle. There Britty stumbles across his secret, but it’s way too close to home for her. It’s only after a night of soul searching that she decides to let go of her own problems and take on his. Can she save him?

    Laura B. Cooper

    Born in Savannah but raised on Sullivan’s Island, South Carolina, Laura Cooper is a true southern woman. She believes that iced tea should always be sweet and has an entire Pinterest Board with over a hundred different ways to cook shrimp.Via an AOL chat room she met her husband of sixteen years, Chris Cooper. Together they have two children, (both in college at the same time) and fifteen, yes count ‘em, fifteen dogs.Prior to writing novels, Laura ran a large pure breed rescue organization for homeless animals. She, Chris and the kids found homes for over six thousand homeless dogs until they retired three years ago.Between calls begging for money (from her children) and squeaky toys, she somehow manages to embolden other southern women to explore their sexuality through reading. Claiming that fifty is the new thirty, Laura encourages her readers to examine themselves, crawl out from beneath the soccer mom status and live a little.Follow us on Twitter: www.twitter.com/lbcooper123Follow us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/pages/Laura-Cooper/279254182092261Follow us on my blog: laurabcooper@blogspot.com

      I pulled into the realtor’s parking lot at quarter till eleven. Only forty-five minutes late. Becky would be impressed.

      Well good morning sunshine! she said when I stumbled into her office and plopped with exaggeration into the chair across from her assistant earnestly. It’d been since Aunt Mildred’s funeral that I’d been back. And when was that, twelve years ago? It seemed like an awfully long time to be away from one’s homeland.

      So how’s the devil’s daughter this morning? Don’t even try to lie and say you haven’t called to find out. My sister could be a real pain in the ass sometimes - okay most of the time. But blood is blood after all, and she’s all I’ve got. Well, and the devil’s daughter of course.

      It was only when I exhaled deeply that I realized I’d been trying to hold as much of the salt air in my lungs for as long as possible. During the two hour drive I battled with no less than twenty near interstate turn arounds that tempted me to just go home. The nurse said she was fine.
