Synopsis: A novel of &“late-in-life love in vibrant New Orleans&” kicks off a &“female bonding romance series like the Bride Quartet by Nora Roberts&” (Kirkus Reviews). Corporate attorney Hannah DuPont-Lowell always pictured herself returning to New Orleans to retire—just not yet. But after her Manhattan company abruptly lays off its staff, there&’s no better place to figure out a next move than the porch of her plantation-style home, nestled in the stunning Garden District . . . The DuPont House has been in Hannah&’s family for two centuries. With eighteen rooms and two guesthouses, it&’s far more home than widowed Hannah needs. Still, it could make a wonderful inn, especially if she can convince her friends and former coworkers Tonya, Jasmine, and Nydia to join in the venture. But in the meantime, Hannah has a high school reunion to attend . . . College Professor St. John McNair, Hannah&’s one-time classmate, is still the finest guy in any room. Between Hannah&’s willowy, blonde beauty, and his uncanny resemblance to Marvin Gaye, they make a striking pair. And gradually, their rekindled friendship moves toward romance. Still, Hannah is too bruised by her late husband&’s infidelities to trust a man again. But her friends&’ arrival and encouragement just might show her a path through uncertainty—straight to a vibrant, joyful new life . . . &“The ambiance and flavor of New Orleans are on full display.&”—RT Book Reviews (4 stars)
