The Player and The Divorcee...The sparks fly, but it's not all good...or is it?

The premise for the fifth book in the Butterfly Memoirs series came about when I was in the middle of writing the first novel, A HEART NOT EASILY BROKEN. It came out of nowhere. A Player who is down on his luck and the run-in with his best friend's sister-in-law. Dirt on the floor. A pissed-off woman. An equally pissed off man. A shirt gets ripped off, and the sparks that both ignored are ignited. I spent an hour writing that scene, then filed it away so I could finish writing Book 1. Four books were published in the series before I was able to revisit Derrick and Kelli and write ALONE. I have to say it was worth it! I love each and every character in The Butterfly Memoirs series, but I have to say, on the hotness meter...Derrick scores a whopping 12! Oh, and you will know the scene when you get to it! About the story: When Derrick's brother drives the family business into bankruptcy, Derrick is left without a job and only one choice: start over. With a new job waiting in Atlanta, the only other thing he's looking for is a woman who's willing to fit his no-strings-attached relationship policy. But then he runs into Kelli, a woman with a smart mouth who challenges him in every way. She'd be perfect ... if it weren't for the fact she had kids. Shortly after giving birth to her son, Kelli's husband announced that he wanted a divorce. Forced to move in with her newlywed sister, Kelli is faced with raising two young children on her own, finding affordable housing, and landing a job that will pay her bills. The last thing she needs or wants is a man in her life. But when her brother-in-law's best friend shows up for dinner, it's impossible to ignore the sexual attraction. Fate and finances have another plan, though, forcing Derrick and Kelli into living under the same roof. Despite their differences, Derrick finds himself breaking his own relationship rules. But as his luck would have it, just when he thinks he's ready to make a commitment, tragedy strikes close to home and, with it, issues from his past that force him to risk everything for what he wants.
