Series: Seven Brides for Seven Mothers #2
Publication date: December 15th, 2020
Synopsis:
Tara Heinz began her modeling career at the tender age of twelve. After spending fifteen years drooling over forbidden foods, she does the unthinkable. She enrolls in culinary school and becomes a pastry chef.
After a nasty breakup with her rock star boyfriend that leads to tabloid war, Tara takes a job at a rural lodge in Oregon to escape the spotlight she no longer desires.
James Cavanaugh is a farmer in Oregon. His days are spent building his business and his nights are spent sleeping, so he can get up at four in the morning.
Ruby Cavanaugh has plans for her son that involve her new pastry chef. Of course, neither James nor Tara know what's going on until it's too late.

Excerpt
My eighty-three-year-old yoga instructor, Rupa Babu always says that when your soul is conflicted and your mind is foggy, you need to drop to the ground and immediately execute an Ardha Matsyendrasansa, or half spinal twist. Hold it for twelve minutes and then start writing--I usually write lists. She promises enlightenment will flow through your fingers and your spine will be as supple as a newborn baby's. I could only ever hold the pose for five minutes, but I still hoped for enlightenment.
Things I Don't Like About Modeling
- Being so hungry I start fantasizing about stealing a little girl's ice cream cone and eating the whole thing before she can tell her mother. Not that I've ever done that, but there have been some close calls.
- Wearing clothes that I wouldn't be caught dead in in real life. I cite the black jean mini skirt with an over-the-top ragged fringe hem that oddly dipped in the front making it look like I'd missed my last twenty waxing appointments.
- Waxing appointments
- Jet lag
- That German photographer, Helmet, who spits orders--as in literal spit flies out of his mouth, often hitting me. "Lacheln! Wende! Und nicht jetzt, diese schlampe geht nicht rans! Translation: "Smile! Move! Annd inexplicably, Not now, this bitch isn't putting out!" I'm pretty sure something got lost in translation with this one.
