Reviewers say: “Just keeps getting better and better”…’A very satisfying read, indeed.”…”I highly recommend it”…”A great love story”
A Recipe for Trouble: Take one jilted Supermodel on the rebound, Add an unscrupulous businessman who'll do anything to save his floundering business, Agitate until both are steaming then keep at a low simmer.
Smooth as a sip of aged Kentucky Bourbon, Promises eases you into Kentucky's Appalachian hill country. That wonderfully wild place of mountains and hollows, creeks and rivers, with its hardscrabble life and whiteboard churches where roots go deep, family matters, and Granny Wright's never wrong. A place where King Coal still rules and beneath its veneer of respectability lays a hidden web of treachery.
Mary Jane Combs may have gotten her Momma's good looks, but her strong-willed determination came straight from Daddy. Growing up in Kentucky she dreamed of a simple life with a loving husband, a home of her own, and healthy kids.
Instead she's become an international Supermodel, swapping the Appalachian coal country for New York City's Upper West Side and traveling the world to exotic locations in her private jet. But she'll need all the determination she can muster when her ex-husband sets out to destroy everything she's accomplished.
Can she do what needs to be done and still remain true to the promises she made at her mother's deathbed? And when the dust settles, will she at last find the loving relationship she always dreamed of as a girl?
Growing up in Kentucky’s Appalachian coal country, Mary Jane Combs dreamt of a simple life with a loving husband, healthy kids and a home of her own. Instead, she’s become international supermodel, Claudia Monet, and finds herself hiding under her ex-husband’s desk while he seduces another woman on top of it.
If you worked your way from obscurity to stardom, would you put your life on the line to prevent someone from destroying that success? An unscrupulous businessman, hoping to benefit from the publicity, tricks Claudia into marrying him. Discovering what he’s done, she retaliates by launching a hostile takeover of his company, and risks her life gathering evidence of his crimes. She deposes her ex, restores her career, and puts her life back on track.
This is the story of a strong young woman’s determination to shape her own life and destiny. She makes her own breaks, overcomes adversity and builds character. Although deceased, her mother remains a mystical presence in the book. They maintain an ongoing dialog through letters her mother wrote before her death and Mary Jane’s visits to her mother’s grave.
