Restlessness
plagued Charlotte Becker. Unable to settle down, she moved from place to place
searching for an elusive something to calm her turbulent spirit. A sudden
invitation from her sister sends her across country to Lobster Cove, Maine.
Anchors abound by the sea, but surely nothing would keep her rooted in place in
a pokey resort town during the off-season.
Drawn
into a consignment shop named One Enchanted Evening, Charlotte is confronted by
a mysterious article of clothing requesting her help to stop a man in a wolf
mask from killing women. Charlotte agrees to protect the citizens of Lobster
Cove and find the hunter before an innocent is slain.
Luke
Maddox’s hunting days are over. Wounded in action, he left the Marines to
return to Lobster Cove, the only place to bring him peace as a child. Hiding
his disability, he accepts life will be nothing more than dull routine. Then he
meets a singular young woman wearing an unusual cloak. She tells an incredible
story of a wolf that walks on two legs.
And
the hunt begins…
In
One Enchanted Evening fantasy, humor, and romance are wrapped up in the cheeky
retelling of a fairy tale. You will never look at a clothing from a consignment
shop the same way again.
Charlotte
stood back by a large bay window to wait her turn. Peering idly around, she
caught her reflection in the plate glass and raised an eyebrow. Wow, the
boot/blazer/jeans combination really worked. Everyone nearby was focused on the
sample table, so she checked out her butt. Damn, the boots rocked it.
“Would
you like to try a sample?”
Charlotte
turned around and locked eyes with the handsome server. Flush rose to her
cheeks at the thought he had witnessed the subtle butt-check maneuver, but his
expression gave no reaction as he held out a piece of buttered bread. “It’s our
own blend. All you do is add it to softened butter or cream cheese. On sale
today.”
She
took a bite. The spread had a spicy tang with a pleasant kick. “It’s delicious.
I’ll take a packet.”
The
man didn’t say a word other than thank you. An elderly woman at the cash
register bagged her order. At the door, Charlotte looked back. The man caught
her glance, flashed a cheeky grin, and gave two very enthusiastic thumbs up of
approval.
Red-faced,
Charlotte scurried out the door and headed for the waterfront.
Coming
soon!
