Summary

Café au lait, career epiphanies, and love triangles.

Just a typical day at your summer job. When recent business school grad and meticulous ten-year planner, Kat McLauren, takes an unplanned au pair position in the French Riviera to schmooze a future employer, she haphazardly upholds her reputation while rejuvenating a local tourism magazine, grappling with three unruly kids, and avoiding a romance with the host family's eldest son. But if a summer full of well-aged wine, sizzling flirtation, and a bit of betrayal can promise one thing, it’s that sometimes the best things in life are the ones we don’t plan for.

For readers who enjoy The Spanish Love Deception by Elena Armas, Good Girl Complex by Elle Kennedy, Eloise and the Grump Next Door by Emma St. Clair and Jenny Proctor, and It Happened One Summer by Tessa Bailey.

Author Biography

For 24 years, Carolyn J. Rose worked in television newsrooms in Little Rock, Arkansas; Albuquerque, New Mexico; Eugene, Oregon; and Vancouver, Washington. As a news writer, researcher, producer and assignment editor, she saw what went on behind the scenes before reports went on the air, and got to hear the stories behind the stories.Carolyn grew up in the New York's Catskill Mountains and got into television by accident. With a degree from the University of Arizona in English and Education, she intended to be a teacher, but left graduate school for Volunteers in Service to America and two years working with low-income groups around Little Rock. When her term of service was up, she moved on to write commercials for KATV television. Tiring of trying to find new ways to say "low prices," she convinced the news director to take her on as a researcher and assignment desk assistant.Several years later, purely on a whim, she drove to Albuquerque with a friend and got a job with KOAT and later with KRQE, writing and producing nightly newscasts. During this time, she met Mike and, a few years later, lured by misty forests and the roar of the surf, they headed for Eugene, Oregon. Carolyn became a news producer with KVAL and she and Mike joined a writers' critique group led by Elizabeth Lyon, author of The Sell Your Novel Toolkit. They began writing individually (Carolyn has two mysteries out through Deadly Alibi Press, www.deadlyalibipress.com) and together.Carolyn was a regular contributor to Murderous Intent Mystery Magazine until it folded, and has been published in Dogwood Tales Magazine, Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine, Seventeen, and the Eugene Register-Guard.Carolyn is now a substitute teacher in Vancouver, Washington
