Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone is shocked when Sasha—the catty, self-centered high-fashion model—does an abrupt life change with such ease. She wants to simplify things and live her destiny, or what she envisions it to be. That means men have to go. She can’t be bothered with their kind. They are untrustworthy toxic waste, meant for a dump site and nothing more. There is only so much love to go around, and it won’t be wasted on the manflesh. Josh Redmond, on the other hand, has plans all his own. He is smitten with Sasha. In his eyes, she is finer than the Mona Lisa, a goddess like no other. Josh, a well-known realtor in town, is eye candy for sure, but he has a reputation, and it isn’t good. He is the local man-tramp—or womanizer—to put it nicely, but he’s determined to prove himself worthy of Sasha’s attention. Josh is certain selling her the Victorian mansion of her dreams, and giving her a puppy as a house-warming gift, will softened her in his favor. When Sasha receives a menacing call one autumn afternoon, her newly perfected life goes into a catastrophic, hurricane-level tailspin. In a split second, her utopian dream is uprooted. With her crazy but loyal friends, and a lot of Merlot, Sasha sets out to reinvent herself—again. And because of Josh’s kindness and patience, Sasha might allow love to fill her heart one more time.
