Climbing Out
of Hell
Book 4 of
the series
A Long Road
to Love
Romantic Comedy
Billionaire Trent Lancaster has destroyed his
relationship with the only woman who ever loved him. Now we discover the full
truth of what happened.
He actually had reasons for his behaviors.
Still, there is no going back. Trent has lost Carrie
forever, but he would rather die than marry Coco, so he does just that. Trent
gives away most of his possessions, fakes his death, and starts over with a new
face and a better attitude in a small town in Iowa where his half-brother Sam
is sheriff.
Losing his true love has fundamentally broken Trent to
his core. His only chance for happiness is to become the better man Carrie
had always seen inside him.
True change is not easy. Can Trent grow up and become
a man we can love?
Sam
burst into the kitchen, frowned at Trent, then focused on Dani. “Leroy is at it
again. I thought you said you were going to hide the damn thing?”
“I
did. But there aren’t many places one can hide an AK-47 rifle.”
“Well,
you hid it worth shit because it’s raining lead again at the downtown square!”
She
gripped her head as if it might explode.
“What’s
the problem?” Trent asked.
Sam
rolled his eyes. “Iowa passed a law allowing blind people to carry guns in
public. So her grandfather, who is blind as a bat, sits on a bench in the
square and shoots his AK into the trees.”
“What’s
he trying to shoot?”
“Pigeons,”
Sam and Dani answered at once. She glared him into silence and continued her
reply. “He likes pigeon soup. A Pakistani doctor told him it would prevent
strokes.”
“Well,
he’s giving me a stroke,” Sam snapped. “You have to make him stop!”
“I’ve
talked to him until I’m blue in the face. He won’t listen to me. Most of the
time he thinks I’m three-years old. Who listens to a three-year-old?” She threw
her hands up in frustration and turned back to the grill.
Trent
didn’t care for the way Sam pushed Dani. Grandparents were impossible to boss
around…at least his had been. “Why don’t you
talk to him?’
Sam
released a hurricane of air. “Because the mayor told me to stay away from him,
since he is not breaking any laws, and any attempt on my part could result in a
lawsuit against the town.” He eyed Trent. “You
should talk to him.”
“Sam,
Trevor’s been in town an hour. You know Gramps doesn’t trust people right off.”
“Neither
do you, yet here he sits, like an old friend, watching you cook him dinner.”
She
rescued the burgers off the grill, slapped them both on buns, and shoved one at
Sam. “This is your hamburger. Trevor is holding out for braised lamb.”
“Point
still stands. Look, I think he can do the job. I intended
to hit him with a ticket but he was so nice I sent him to you instead. He’s a
likable guy. Let’s send him out and see if he can stop this madness.”
“No!”
“Then
I’m shutting this bar down for safety violations.”
She
stared at him in shock. “What violations?”
“Don’t
worry. Mr. Olsen will find something. He owes me big time after last night’s
poker game.”
Trent
stood up. “Sam, you’re digging yourself into a hole. Your initial solution was
excellent, and frankly I’m honored you think so well of me. I’ll go talk to him
right now. Just tell me how to get to Pigeonville.”
Sam
grinned and slapped him on the back as he led him out of the kitchen. “Way to
man up. Seriously, I’ll owe you one if you can get the gun away from Leroy and
bury it six feet under.”
Trent
just hoped being a nice
guy didn’t get him buried six
feet under as well.

ReplyDeleteI think people CAN change who they are, but they won't. It's too much work and they'd rather remain in their ruts and complain about it. I'd love book one if possible! kindle/mobi tkhalliday@gmail.com Thank you! :)
