My Summer with George

"LUSCIOUS . . . My Summer with George is The Women's Room--1996."
--The Baltimore Sun

Hermione Beldame is a women's romance writer who has done quite well for herself. Survivor of four marriages and many affairs, she's not as young as she once was, and after years of success and solitude she finds herself lonely and in need of love. When she meets George, a southern newspaper editor, his shy, handsome honesty is a little too much for her vulnerable self. And she determines to make something of their obvious attraction for one another.

But no matter how easy going Hermione is, how open and caring she tries to be, George can't or won't succumb to her charms. Through a long few weeks of fast lunches, fascinating conversation, and strange revelations, Hermione can't help but fantasize about her future with George. The only problem is George. . . .
