Dare to Love

ebook

Josi's finally got her life sorted. Her children have flown the nest, she has a successful business and she's just married her other half of eleven years; stable, dependable Richard, a partner in a highly respected accountancy practice. At 50, she's where she wants to be: in a lovely cottage in Derbyshire, with an attractive body and a future with the man who loves her. Then a dark secret from Richard's past shatters her dreams. Despite her years as a therapist, this is not one that she can deal with herself; it's too close to home. She seeks the company of the only person she feels she can confide in; her friend Celia, who lives in Barbados. Away from the grey of England and the pressure cooker of her cottage, Josi finally opens up to her friend. She also meets Grant, a smooth Guyanese that she immediately connects with. Socially, they are worlds apart. There's so much that Grant has to hide and so many things that could take him under, but there's something that pulls them together; something that threatens to blow their worlds apart and change them forever. They have a chance of happiness together, but can they risk taking it? Dare to Love is a work of chick-lit with an erotic twist that will appeal to female readers. It will also appeal to readers of Caribbean origin as it address many issues of the region. Author Penny has been inspired by a number of authors, including Terry McMillan, Eric Jerome Dickey, Zane and Fiona Zedde. "I read a novel about the way young men in the Caribbean approach foreign women on holiday and wanted to write the female response to it. It grew to encompass all kinds of issues, such as how people face extreme challenges and how we bend the rules to suit our situation. I found myself drawing on some of the issues I've helped clients deal with in therapy. Ultimately, they all come looking for love and recognition," says Penny, on the motivation to write her novel.
