Man for the Morning
(1996)(The second book in the Salt Spring Island Friends series)
A novel by Carole Dean (E C Sheedy)
If you can't fall in love in Paris . . .
Single mother, Lynn McDonald, is on the trip of a lifetime. She's in Paris! And she's keen to see and feel everything wondrous in the incomparable City of Light. The only thing not on her exciting itinerary is romance.
Nor is it on the list of acclaimed film director Paul Severns . . .
With too many women and one too many marriages in his past, Paul is alone and plans to stay that way. No more love games. No more risky relationships. When a friend asks him to greet a woman at the airport, he obliges. No big deal. He'll pick her up, settle her in her hotel, and be gone. Instead, he's instantly captivated by Lynn's vivid personality, direct green-eyed gaze, and her generous and unselfish spirit.
What Paul lacks in emotional courage, Lynn, as a widow and mother to a challenged son, has in abundance. She believes deeply in the power of love and with reason. Only love sustained her through loss and years of solitude.
Paul offers to show her Paris, but after a few days in her company, he asks her to spend a weekend with him in the French countryside. No games. No risk. He tells himself—and Lynn—his offer is for nothing more than some pleasant days and uncomplicated sex. No strings attached.
He doesn't expect Lynn to go along with it. But she does. And she packs some strings...
_____________________________________________________________
I loved visiting Paris and couldn't wait to write a book and take another trip there with one of my heroines. Lynn McDonald was the perfect choice. If you read one of my prior books, CALIFORNIA MAN, you might remember her as the good friend of Emily Welland, the shy bookstore owner, who found her special hero on Salt Spring Island.
I hope you enjoy reading Lynn and Paul's love story as much as I enjoyed writing it. :-)
