Coming to Rosemont by Barbara Hinske
Women's Fiction / Contemporary
Date Published: February 18, 2013
Maggie
travels to Westbury for the stated purpose of listing Rosemont for immediate
sale, but what she really seeks are answers to her all-consuming questions
about her sham of a marriage; her sham of a life. She never anticipated the
seductive charm of Rosemont. Throwing her trademark caution to the wind, and
over the objections of her opinionated grown children, she pulls up stakes and
moves halfway across the country, determined to make a fresh start in Westbury.
Behind closed doors, however, lurks a cadre of evildoers, playing with multiple
wild cards of fraud, embezzlement and arson.
With
a quiet, orderly -- and distinctively solitary -- life in mind, Maggie is
instead thrown headlong into a crusade against political corruption, where
defeat and retreat are not an option. Still bearing the scars of betrayal, will
she find joy, romance and possibility in Westbury?
This
fast-paced, smart novel has enough twists and turns to make the reader want to
buckle in!
Excerpt from Chapter 9
Maggie dropped to her knees and threw her arms around the squirming dog. “You don’t know how much I appreciate being able to have Eve with me tonight,” she beamed up at John.“My flight was delayed and I had a Chatty-Cathy car rental agent. I drove like a maniac to get here. I’m really very grateful you waited. The lot was empty and I thought that I was too late.”“It was no trouble. I was catching up on paperwork,” John assured her. “I live on the other side of the Square and walk to work, weather permitting. I usually stop at one of the restaurants on the way home for dinner.”“Are you done? Would you like a lift home?”John knew an opportunity when he saw one. “I just need to lock up,” he said. “Are you hungry? Or are you full of delicious airline food,” he mocked.When she shook her head and indicated that she was, indeed, starved, he proposed that the three of them walk over to Pete’s for dinner. They could leave her car at the Hospital and she could drop him off at his house after dinner.
