Freelance writer Mattie Meadows has found an excellent excuse to visit Barbourville, Tennessee. She's been assigned to write an article about a local cottage for a travel magazine. But her real reason for visiting the town is much less transparent, and if she succeeds in her quest, some prominent citizens may very well become her enemies. Attorney Denver Vance is using Barbourville as a stopover on his way home to Chicago from a Florida vacation. When he meets a prickly female in his brother's cottage, he reluctantly agrees to help her in her quest, never dreaming that their chance encounter could lead to their falling in love. But then they uncover secrets that impact their new Barbourville friends, and they realize that in the process, they may have destroyed any chances they might have had to build a future together.
Carolynn Carey was born and raised in a small town in Tennessee, which explains her pleasure in writing books set in a fictional Tennessee town. The quirky and down-to-earth characters in Barbourville face their problems with courage and dignity. A Summer Sentence, Falling for Dallas, and Dealing with Denver are set in Barbourville.
Carolynn also enjoys writing about the Regency period in England. The early 1800s, when the eldest son of King George III was named Regent to rule in his father's stead, are years filled with events in which ordinary people were called upon to face extraordinary challenges. Compromising Situations and Carolynn's novella, "A Tradition of Love," which appears in A Cotillion Country Christmas, are set during that time period.
Carolynn continues to write stories set in Barbourville and during the Regency, so please check back for new selections in the near future.
