With more than 100 titles to her
credit, Lori Foster delivers another feel-good contemporary story that will
resonate with readers who admire strong female protagonists, sensual romance
and a love of animals.
In The Somerset Girls,
two sisters run an animal rescue farm inherited from their grandparents in
rural Kentucky. Autumn and Ember Somerset share a bloodline and a converted
duplex house, and both maintain day jobs. That's where the similarities end,
however. Autumn, 32, is a decorator and designer--the girl-next-door,
homebody-type. Having been jilted at the altar, Autumn has sworn off men and
romance. She is reliable and responsible, tending to her colorful parents,
including a father who is a stroke survivor. Ember--younger, an outgoing free
spirit--is a girly-girl with an edge who loves to flirt with cute guys. She
works as a builder. When Ember runs into a former local, Tash Ducker--a
handsome widower and father who was Autumn's high school crush--she volunteers
the sisters' help in redesigning his house to cheer up his traumatized
seven-year-old daughter. As the remodel ramps up, a romance develops between
Autumn and Tash, while Ember becomes entangled in a new relationship of her
own.
With compassion, wit and charm,
Foster (Sisters of Summer's End) presents well-defined characters who,
along the road of romance, reveal unspoken burdens. A surprising plot twist,
steamy romance and endearing animal stories will delight faithful readers and
win over new ones.
