Laura McAuliff ‟ s last relationship ended badly ... So badly her exboyfriend , a criminal lawyer gave her fifty-grand to vanish , before his assassin-client made her disappear forever ! Hiding out in a tiny house behind a friend ‟ s barn in Maine , she upcycles furniture into one-of-a-kind treasures for profit . She spots some Mad Men furniture , but another flipper claims it at the same time . At an impasse , they reluctantly split the set .
Trace Dixon is more than he seems . He ‟ s an ex-military bad-ass , and when he learns why she ‟ s hiding he ‟ s determined to protect her . He wants her to testify and be free to recycle her life .
An Excerpt :
Glancing at eight out of ten broken nails , I tried not to think about the tsk tsk expression Monique , my former manicurist , would have given me . Hey , at least I don ‟ t have paint in my hair . I ‟ ll take out my nail file later . Who knows ? I might have ten out of ten broken nails after I finish sanding and staining the antique piano stool I found by the side of the road yesterday .
But , you know what ? I ‟ m happier now than I ever was as a trophy girlfriend . I know . The term is usually trophy wife . We were too cool for marriage . Who needs it ? we asked . Well , as it turned out , we both did . I might have had more than my personal belongings when I left , and he would have had the benefit of the loophole where a wife can ‟ t testify against her husband .
