Plot Twists & Parmesan: Win a Reader’s Snack Board
Dear Reader,
It has been so heartening to hear from readers who are gushing about my new book, Otherwise Engaged, which came out last week! I am so glad that you’re loving the story!
If you’ve read it, you know that when Shannon was a little girl, her teen mom lived paycheck to paycheck—and often ran out of money before payday. Cindy put the fun in fundless by scrounging together all their leftovers from the past week and calling it charcuterie. Shannon never really knew how poor they were. As the years went by and their circumstances improved, they stuck with the family charcuterie tradition.
In honor of that—and in thanks to all of you who have rushed out to buy Otherwise Engaged this week—I’m awarding a Boarderie gift certificate for one lucky reader so you can treat yourself! For a winner who has food restrictions or who lives outside the US, the prize will be a $140 gift card to the bookstore of your choice.
SAY YES AND ENTER NOW!
WILL YOU READ ME?
A twisty, tender and wise look at how secrets can transform the powerful—and sometimes problematic—bond between mothers and daughters, from #1 New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery.
When Shannon gets engaged, her beloved mom, Cindy, is the first person she wants to tell—and the last. Cindy’s engaged, too, and has already hinted at a double wedding. The image of a synchronized bouquet toss with her mom fills Shannon with horror. She’ll keep her engagement a secret until Cindy’s I-dos are done.
Victoria has never been proper enough for her mother, Ava, so she stopped trying. She lives on her own terms and amuses herself by pushing Ava’s buttons. Ava loves but doesn’t understand her stuntwoman daughter. When a movie-set mishap brings Victoria home, Ava longs to finally connect.
Chance brings the four women together at a wedding venue, where a shocking secret comes tumbling out. Twenty-four years ago, desperate teenager Cindy chose wealthy Ava to adopt her baby—then changed her mind at the very last second. The loss rocked Ava’s world, leaving her unable to open her heart to the daughter she did adopt, Victoria. As Shannon and Victoria deal with the fallout from the decisions their mothers made, they wrestle with whether who they are is different than who they might have become.
