Simply delighted to announce our next Romance, Wine & Chocolate ’19 author guest! The wonderful award winning author, Maria Geraci!

Maria Geraci writes romantic comedy and cozy mysteries. She’s a two-time RITA® Finalist, as well as a finalist in the National Readers Choice Awards and Romantic Times’ American Title Contest. Her books feature strong women, dreamy heroes, lots of laughs, and a little bit of heat. She lives in central Florida and is always on the lookout for the perfect key lime pie recipe (but not the kind they served on Dexter).

Flirting for Amateurs

Things aren’t looking rosy for Kate Giles-Armitage. She’s just been through a messy divorce, her ex-husband is flaunting his new celebrity girlfriend in all the tabloids, and her parents have drained her trust fund.

But when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade.

So Kate packs up her BMW and heads to the sleepy little town of Old Explorer’s Bay to sell off her last asset—a gracious turn of the century cottage she inherited from her late grandmother. What she finds instead is a crumbling mansion that even HGTV wouldn’t touch. Add in a trio of matchmaking grannies determined to set her up with the town’s mayor and that lemonade is beginning to taste a little sour.

Cue in the town’s chief of police, Ethan Parrish, the most irritating, annoyingly opinionated man Kate has ever met. Except, flirting with the sexy cop is also the most fun Kate has had in a long time.

Kate has no intention of staying in town, and Ethan’s a single dad with commitment issues.

But come on, a little flirtation never hurt anybody. Right?
