My mama didn’t raise no fool.
That’s what Paula Raye Lawrence told herself when she saw the shiny orange sports car in her driveway up ahead.
About the Book
Smart country girl Paula Raye Lawrence can learn some important lessons about love if she’s hip enough to see them.
When Dr. Ed Anderson, a handsome young history professor moves in across the street, Paula Raye gets suspicious. What would possess a man with such fine threads and a BAD sports car to come little ole Cherry, North Carolina? She figures Ed for another skirt-chasing nobody like her late father. Man, was she ever wrong.
Turns out Dr. Anderson has as many skeletons in his closet as she does. She can’t avoid him though, as much as she tries. He holds the way of her escape to a better life in the big city… and the keys to her heart.
