Book Description:
Veronica
Lane works in the travel industry in her dream job when she experiences a
hellish travel day ending in the loss of her job and stranded far from home. To
make the situation even worse, she drowns her sorrows in the hotel bar, and
wakes the next morning to a big surprise.
Gathering
up the remains of her dignity along with her travel bags, she returns to her
hometown in Peachtree City, Georgia. A community similar to a progressive
Mayberry, except with golf cart paths and carts. A lot of them. Her family is
kooky. The parents are sexually free and liberal, her brother is a golf cart
cop with more good looks and brawn than brains. Her grandparents, one from each
side, live in the same retirement community and maintain a constant battle
while entertaining the other senior citizens. The Grandmother on her dad's side
is stuck in the 1960’s, and the Grandfather on her mother's side served in WWII
and thinks that the Japanese are still trying to kill him.
She calls
inquiring about a job in the newspaper, a group escort for a small tour company
in Atlanta. She is hired immediately and leaves the next day with her first
group to Jamaica. First, she meets a handsome pilot with the charter airline
they use, and then there is one unusual group participant that doesn’t seem to
belong. He leaves the group for periods of time and when things happen, he uses
MacGyver like skills to get them out of the situations. She is aggravated and
knows something is fishy and the bad thing is, the man is very charismatic and
she’s not just a little attracted to him.
Upon their
return, she finds out that the man is friends with her rather unconventional
boss and after a second unusual group excursion to Puerto Rico; she knows for
sure that the little tour company in Atlanta is not really what it seems on the
outside. When the truth is revealed, she finds herself unintentionally dropped
into a new career that she can't exactly add to her resume.
Veronica
finds herself in uncomfortable and hilarious situations, surrounded by crazy
tour participants, family, friends, neighbors, and pets. After a long dry
spell, she finds that there is suddenly an overabundance of romance, drama, and
intrigue in her life. Her life is now a sometimes very bumpy, yet exciting
ride.
