Love In A Pickle

When a mysterious silver fox becomes intrigued with this small town's most disliked society woman, he finds she's more than a little trouble and possibly a whole lot of heart. Scotia Simmons. The name says it all-ornery, judgmental, mean-but underneath a woman like that is typically a shattered heart. Locked within her secrets, this fried pickle princess has used her unkindness as a shield of protection against the loneliness. However, menopause and a one-night stand can change a woman's perspective on things. Who knew it would take a man the likes of him to push her strong will to its limits? Chester Chesterfield. The name has more than one meaning-generous, quiet, private-but within one man is a multitude of personas. The gruff oil mogul has a wounded heart (and a big secret) that holds him hostage from the man he's meant to be. His past defined him, or so he thought. He never imagined it'd take a woman like her to push him over his carefully constructed edges and show him love has no boundaries. When you're in a pickle, it's time to relish what-or rather who-stands before you and accept that even over forty, a second chance at love can be a big dill (every pun intended). 'Love in a Pickle' is a full-length contemporary romance, can be read as a standalone, and is book #9 in the Green Valley Library series, Green Valley Chronicles, Penny Reid Book Universe.
