Cactus Lil's Big City Debut
(2024)(The second book in the Written in Love series)
A novel by Donna Schlachter
Lily Duncan Golding—a.k.a. Cactus Lil—heads to New York City for her honeymoon and her publishing debut. Two weeks away from her ranch and the land she loves—for the man she loves just as much. How will she be able to stand it? Before she even arrives, she’s convinced herself she’ll hate every moment. But when she finds herself enjoying all its attractions, and even imagining herself living there—well, something has to change. And it sure won’t be her.
Peter Golding—a.k.a. the City Slicker—arrives triumphantly in the Big City. Mission accomplished. He’s married the woman of his dreams—even though she isn’t exactly as he’d imagined. In fact, she’s better. He did what his uncle asked—bring Miss Daisy Duncan--now better known as Missus Lily Golding--back or else. What began as a business arrangement turned into a real-life romance. Just like one of Daisy’s stories—only better.
But when they arrive and learn of Uncle Phillip’s mysterious disappearance, Peter and Lily are pulled into the dark underside of the Big City, then thrust onto the front pages of the newspapers as ‘persons of interest’ in the investigation.
Can they survive the onslaught of attention on themselves, their marriage, and the seedy side of the publishing industry? Or can they discover who is behind this nefarious act, save Uncle Phillip--and themselves?
