Twenty-One Trees
Sometimes, secrets are the ties that bind two people together for life—especially the painful ones.
Savannah May Holladay and her best friend from childhood, James “Birdy” Johnson, harbor many dark secrets. Birdy also has an undying love for Savannah that spans over two decades. Unfortunately for him, Savannah is a wealthy debutante engaged to the town’s most eligible bachelor—and Birdy is a truck driver.
But after a nasty incident, Savannah wakes up in a hospital bed and can’t remember one thing about the past seven years—not her marriage to Birdy instead of her boyfriend, and especially not the birth of their four children. In what feels like an instant, she’s lost her perfect life and become an impoverished housewife.
Savannah must struggle through her memory loss to recover some kind of love for her husband and children. Will Birdy’s unwavering devotion be enough to carry her through and bring back her lost years? Or could Birdy’s own secrets make matters even worse?
Hotter Than Ever (Book 1)
She had it all … and lost it in a hot flash.
Classy, sassy, and unapologetically smart-assy Lexi Taylor had the picture perfect life—beauty, fame, a loving family, and a long-standing contract as the face of an international cosmetics line. But after the former super model hit the big five-o, menopause moved in and her husband moved out… followed by her friends, her figure, her career, and quite possibly her sanity.
Is life as Lexi knows it over? Or will menopause help her to become the woman she was always meant to be?
~In her Middle-Aged Hottie books, Hotter Than Ever, Too Hot to Hold and Hot to Trot, author Linda Cousine blends romantic comedy with a liberal dose of satire taking genre fiction to a new and bawdier level. Follow along as fading model Lexi Taylor struggles to navigate the minefield that is menopause and its effect on love, sex, and relationships in this fast-paced and raw spoof on aging.
Too Hot to Hold (Book 2)
Sometimes your best rebound… just might be your Ex.
Lexi Taylor is no stranger to midlife crisis. After all, a menopausal meltdown landed her at the Sunnyvale Sanitarium for a ninety-day stay. Since finding her sanity there, this former supermodel’s faculties are back on track. She puts family first, and is on the road to patching things up with her ex-husband, Richard, who seems intent on turning up the heat between them. But when Richard moves back in, he brings his buddies from his pro wrestling career with him, and Lexi’s Bel Air home becomes a regular three-ring-circus. Add a new ex-husband with erratic mood swings, and a questionable vitamin therapy, and Lexi wonders if she’s making the right choice. After a spa weekend with her daughter that turns out to be a visit to a nudist commune, a modeling gig that’s actually an ad for adult diapers, and extortion for a sex video she didn’t know existed, Lexi feels close to losing it—again. But this time, hormones are the least of her worries as Lexi must find a way to keep her family together and save her ex-husband from jeopardizing his health. She faces one of the biggest challenges of her menopausal life: does her past have a place in her future? Or is it time to move on?
Hot to Trot (Book 3)
If the shoe fits … the bill might be more than you bargained for.
Life couldn’t be better for former supermodel, Lexi Taylor, when her brainchild, a stiletto with two heels instead of one, becomes an overnight sensation. Her relationship with sexy ex-husband, Richard, rocks along and they’re closer than ever. But Lexi might just be facing a few false starts when her father’s Alzheimer’s grows more serious and he, more often than not, thinks she’s her mother and insists on turning up the heat between them.
Adding more stress to Lexi’s complicated life, Lexi and Richard become the surrogate parents to Richard’s ex-fiancé’s little girl when she unexpectedly arrives at their doorstep. Even as Lexi struggles to balance the new challenges in her life, she just might learn that the second time around the track could be better than the first.
