Scotia Simmons is known for her sharp tongue and prickly demeanor, earning her the reputation of being ornery, judgmental, and mean. Beneath this tough exterior lies a woman with a shattered heart, using unkindness as a shield against loneliness. However, a combination of menopause and a spontaneous one-night stand leads her to reconsider her outlook on life. She never expected a man like Chester Chesterfield to challenge her strong will and show her that love has no boundaries.
Chester Chesterfield, a gruff oil mogul with a wounded heart and a big secret, has lived a life defined by his past. He never imagined that a woman like Scotia would push him beyond his carefully constructed edges and reveal that love has no boundaries.
When you're in a pickle, it's time to relish what—or rather who—stands before you and accept that even over forty, a second chance at love can be a big dill (every pun intended).
'Love in a Pickle' is a full-length contemporary romance, can be read as a standalone, and is book #9 in the Green Valley Library series, Green Valley Chronicles, Penny Reid Book Universe.
