Philips returns to fictional Serendipity, N.Y., for another pleasant encounter with people who say they aren't looking for permanent relationships, but change their minds when the perfect match appears. Nicole Farnsworth has had enough of being "a pawn" for her wealthy parents in N.Y.C. and wants to make a fresh start in Serendipity. Det. Sam Marsden is a local cop who has everything except the woman of his dreams. Nicole is pursued by her ex-fiancé and threatened by shady figures; Sam has been burnt by an unfaithful lover and now questions his romantic judgment. They renew their acquaintance from Perfect Fling and settle into the pattern that Philips's readers know and love: the lovers learn to trust again, forge a healthy relationship, and regain their self-esteem while being subjected to some mild menace. Characters lack subtlety, and the formulaic story is weighed down by dull writing and forced tension, but the result is an accessible and congenial vacation read. Agent: Kimberly Whalen, Trident Media Group. (Feb.)
This big-city girl is ready for Serendipity.But is Serendipity ready for her?
No sane woman breaks off an engagement to an extremely handsome, rich man, right? But Nicole Farnsworth is tired of being the good daughter, and she's sick of being her fiancé's arm-candy. So she flees to Serendipity. She can't think of a better place to find some peace and figure out what comes next.
“Next” shouldn't include falling for the man who once slapped handcuffs on her wrists-and unwittingly changed her life. But in this small town, fate and fortune make the decisions.
Sam Marsden trusts his instincts as a cop, but when it comes to love? Not so much. Back when he'd mistakenly arrested Nicole, she'd made his jaded heart beat faster and he thought she'd reciprocated. But she returned to her high-society life in NYC and slipped through his fingers. Since then, he's tried and failed to stop dreaming about the beautiful woman.
Now Nicole is back and it isn't long before they give in to the attraction that never stopped burning. But when the reason Nicole ran away from home catches up with her, it'll take every ounce of Sam's protective instincts to keep her safe.
