Giveaway: The Carrage Trade by Lisa Deon

Carlin “Carlos” Farley’s life is an open book. Unfortunately, she can’t remember most of it.   She’s losing her barn manager, Bill, the guy who’s been running her horse drawn carriage business while she’s been in extended care recovering from an accident. Bill has always been there for her, in fact they’ve grown up together, but now he wants to pursue the career he put on hold and Carlin’s resigned to the idea that he’s leaving her.

Bill Fantazma is the kind of guy who always tries to do the right thing. But sometimes doing the right thing is not the right thing to do. He’s been in charge of Carlin’s care and the business he helped acquire for her, and has accepted the accident and her subsequent brain damage as a chance for a do-over, since his previous actions to attract her affection were less than honorable.

Richard Cooper appears to be the answer to their business problems. Knowledgeable about horses, willing to step in and take over the barn manager position, helpful and solicitous to Carlin, he’s not put off by her sometimes bizarre and quirky behavior.

But when Richard sees an opportunity to move in and draw Carlin’s affection, Bill realizes just what she means to him and must make a decision; come clean about their past and risk her anger, or step aside to allow Richard to have a romantic relationship with the woman Bill has loved all of his life.

It’s a romance she can’t remember and he can never forget.
