Excerpt:
“Out!” Ben stormed into the guest
room and closed Elli’s open suitcase, zipping it shut before speaking again.
“You’ve got some nerve moving into my home, lady.” Two hours ago, he thought
he’d made it clear to her that she was not welcome anywhere on his land.
“Either go back to the bunkhouse for the night or find a hotel…preferably in
Kansas!”
She lunged for the suitcase and
sat on top of it before he could pick it up. “This is my house, too. I can stay
here if I want. You can threaten me all you want, but I have rights. I asked my
attorney, and she said I had the legal right to domicile on the plantation if I
want…and I want.” She folded her arms across her chest as if that made it
final. The hell it did.
He gripped the suitcase handle,
looking at her a full three seconds to give her ample warning she had better
move her West Coast derriere off the suitcase. When she just stared back with
that stubborn look he’d seen much too often in the short time he’d known her,
he figured they were at an impasse. Again. He shrugged his shoulders and yanked
the suitcase off the bed, causing Elli to tumble to the floor. Her little prissy
dog, resting on the bed pillow, raised her head and looked at her owner,
sniffed, and put her head back down.
BLURB:
Her life could have been over with her breast cancer diagnosis, but Elli
had fought and won. Now she is ready to fight for other women facing the same
nightmare, but to do so she is going to need money. And she is going to need it
fast.
Fortunately,
Elli finds herself with half ownership of a Louisiana plantation. A twisted
inheritance has set her up with an interesting future. Unfortunately, Elli no
longer believes in planning a future, she just wants to take the money and run.
Ben
Bienvenu wants nothing to do with the woman from California who is certain to
turn his world upside down. But the conditions of the will that left the
property to both of them doesn’t give him much choice. Not if he wants to keep
the property that’s been in his family for generations.
A snobby
diva rental dog, an impossible will, a nosy Bienvenu family, a distracting
Mardi Gras season and a man who thinks he is protecting his son by standing his
ground against her… Elli knows that trying to find common ground with this man
known as the Cajun Dog Whisperer is going to be an uphill battle.
Two
broken people.
Both in
need of a Second Chance….

AUTHOR Bio:
Throughout her life, Tina DeSalvo has filled many roles – daughter,
sister, student, wife, mother, journalist. Then one day she took on one she had
not planned – breast cancer patient. In an instant her life changed. But as she
had done everything else in her life, Tina threw herself into overcoming this
role and becoming a survivor.
It was during this time of fighting and healing that Elli was born. Tina
took all that she learned, many of the people she met during the battle and
poured it all into a book full of heart and humor. Elli is the story of getting
a second chance at life after breast cancer. It’s not a book about cancer, it’s
about a woman who’s had it. It’s a story that will make you laugh and could
even bring tears to your eyes and it’s right from Tina’s heart. So much so that
she is donating all proceeds from the sale of Elli to help meet the unmet needs
of other women who are going through the same fight she did.
Since Elli, Tina has continued her Second Chance series with Jewell. We
hope that you will check out Jewell as well and keep an eye out for Abby coming
later in 2016.
Now, as we enter October and another Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Tina
is reaching out to share her story and share Elli’s story again. There will be
Facebook events (https://www.facebook.com/TinaDeSalvoAuthor) and news of other
contests and appearances on her website (www.tinadesalvo.com ). And all month
long she will be visiting blogs to share her heart and her message. She’s
looking to give away Care Packages to ten Centers that work with Breast Cancer
patients. You can nominate a Center or
Charity that has worked with you or a friend or family member as they went
through treatment for Breast Cancer. From all nominated, ten will be randomly
picked and Tina will give away a basket full of goodies in the name of you or
your friend or family member. Let’s spread the love in October to those that
might need it the most.
