No marriage. No babies. Not now. Not ever. Desiree Sutherland-Colt’s parents want her married, pregnant, and carrying on the family names—preferably yesterday. Attempting to gain control of her life, Desi abandons her oil princess existence and heads out to find herself. A rash decision to sleep with a sexy stranger triggers a chain of events that leads to her cash-strapped and stranded in Detroit. She only has two choices: run home with her tail between her legs or figure out how the other half lives. Gunner, her bad decision, isn’t such a stranger anymore, though, and he’s determined to help get Desi on her feet—and permanently in his life. A small apartment and a receptionist job aren’t much, but considering every day—and night—is spent with Gunner, Desi’s finally settling into life in Detroit. But her newly built happiness comes crumbling down when her parents threaten the only thing she can’t live without. If there’s any hope to change their minds, Desi must become exactly what she vowed she’d never be…
Author
Julie Particka was told to get serious about her future in Junior High. Several years after getting a bachelor’s degree in chemistry, she realized being serious was over-rated and went back to her first love–writing. Now rather than spending her days in the drudgery of the lab or teaching science to high school students, she disappears into worlds of her own creation where monsters sometimes roam, but true love still conquers all. She can most often be located in the Detroit area with her favorite minions (the ones who know her as Mom) where she is currently hatching a plot for world domination. It involves cookies for everyone, so she’s pretty sure there’s no way it can fail…except the minions keep eating the cookies. *NOTE FROM JULIE: While I will be updating my shelf with books I have read/want to read, I won't be rating them anymore unless I really LOVED them. If I add a book, it means I liked it, so don't take a lack of rating to mean anything bad. It wouldn't be on my shelf if I wasn't willing to recommend it.* see also Seleste deLaney
