NEW ATTITUDE: A NEW BEGINNINGS BOOK (Book 2)
As if it's not bad enough that I didn't win the reality
design TV show I was on, try coming home to a one word note indicating that my ten-year
marriage is over. So here I am, a suddenly single mother in my mid-thirties,
doing what everyone advises me to do—have a fling. Except it doesn't go as
planned, so I do the next best thing, which is sit on the couch and mope. But
having to provide for a five-year-old doesn't let me stay home for too long.
Before I know it, I'm back to dying my hair wild colors and trying to figure
out what to do with the rest of my life. Except Tony, the fling that wasn't, keeps popping up in the
most unlikely places and won't leave me alone. I'd like to be strong—I'm way
too old for him—but he's cute and funny and sexy and oh, my ex is getting
married to a girl named Bambi. All I know is the way I'm doing things isn't
working. If I want to be happy again, I'm going to need to get a new attitude.
And then they lived happily ever after ...

her royal duties become too much as Maryn realizes Stephan is not the white
knight she once thought him to be.Seeking solace in her childhood home, Maryn's path again
crosses with that of George Panagogus, her childhood best friend and first
love. He really is a good guy. Too bad she shattered and stomped on his heart
all those years ago. It's time for Maryn to step up and start being her own
hero. Will she finally get her storybook ending?
