MacKalvey House
by Carol Ann Kauffman
Young American Michelle Rosemont visits England after college graduation and decides to stay. She takes a job as photographer for a historical magazine and falls in love with the extremely unpopular Kenneth MacKalvey, an older British author with a shady past.
Old families scars resurface and play havoc with Michelle and Kenneth's relationship, as she struggles to come to terms with her father's abandonment and unforeseen family issues, as well as a ruthless redhead.
Dear Gentle Readers,
If you read Echo of Heartbreak, A Recipe for Life, then I think you will enjoy this one, too. It is not a sequel. In. fact, Echo of Heartbreak was a prequel. In preparing to write this book, I needed a clear picture in my mind of Michelle's mother, Melina Valentina Rosemont, because she is paramount to the formation of Michelle's persona. Her fears, strengths, and personality are strongly tied to her mother. In the end, I had so much information on Melina, I thought she deserved her own little book, with recipes, tips on housekeeping and wardrobe planning, and insights on life. So that's how Echo of Heartbreak, A Recipe for Life came into being.
