GENRE:
Contemporary romance (romantic comedy)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Her
mango chutney is exquisite; her blueberry sauce to die for. But Chef
de Cuisine Daisy Moon is a woman without a kitchen after a "bit
of trouble" at her last job. Now blacklisted from Seattle to San
Francisco, Daisy's sole job offer is from Wild Man Lodge in Otter
Bite, Alaska, where the end of the road is just the beginning.
Excerpt
Max
cocked his head at her. No siree, Bob. Daisy Moon was not easy. She
was like a 1500 piece puzzle, where all the pieces are really tiny,
and similar in shape and color, but are nonetheless different, and it
would take weeks, maybe even months, just to get the edges put
together.
"Don't
look so surprised," she said. "I know I'm not exactly laid
back. Okay, maybe that's being kind," she responded to Max’s
smile. "But I'm an incredible cook. And a really good speller.
Not to mention having a humongous vocabulary. I came in fourth in the
national spelling bee championship when I was fourteen."
Without
meaning to, Max pictured Daisy at fourteen, in a prim white blouse
and a demure plaid skirt with her hair tied back in a ribbon,
triumphantly spelling words like...concupiscence.
"Do
I know what men want, or what?" Now Daisy smiled...at herself.
Taking
the cue, Max leaned into her and spoke sincerely, but resisted the
urge to cup her hand.
"Somewhere
there is a man who wants a pretty redhead who's difficult and a great
cook with a really humongous vocabulary who can spell...and next time
it won't be a cross-dressing felon.

Heart nominee Maggie McConnell spent her childhood overseas as the
daughter of US diplomats. Attending college in Illinois, she earned a

Highway to Alaska, where she spent 23 years exploring The Last
Frontier in a single-engine Cessna. A vegan and animal rights
advocate, Maggie provides a sanctuary on her Arizona ranch for all
creatures great and small, but her immediate family includes dog
Molly, cat Sara, horses Quinn and Teena, and an ever-growing dynasty

Alaska.
