A Flamingo Island Novella
Lucy Smith, a British born and raised marketing executive who now lives in Boston, snags the biggest prize of them all at her boss’s annual holiday party—a paid 30-day sabbatical at his beach house on a tropical island off the coast of Florida. Three months later, she and her two tabby cats are settling into a stunning cottage with nothing to do but soak up the sun and enjoy the beautiful beaches. Oh, and work on a last minute assignment given by her boss to catch a major client.
Until Pete.
A long-time local celebrity, Pete has long skinny legs, bright pink feathers, a golden curved beak, and big dark eyes. Injured as a youngling, Pete is a native flamingo who can’t fly and enjoys the company of people more than his own kind. People and cats, it seems, as he and Lucy’s two fur babies become fast friends the first morning he shows up on Lucy’s deck.
When Lucy chases after the flamingo, fearful he’s after her pets, she meets Pete’s favorite human, Aaron Graham, retired Army Special Forces and now the owner of “The Beach Bar”, a locals-only place on Flamingo Island.
Despite an immediate attraction, Aaron is going to steer clear of the beautiful redhead staying at a beach house on Millionaire’s Row. He’s been burned before by a fling with a bored tourist from the other side of the island. He wouldn’t be making that mistake again. Besides, he’s got enough to deal with when it comes to local bureaucrats and keeping his fledging inheritance in the black.
Still, he does his best to reassure Lucy the flamingo is harmless and he’ll make sure they both—him and Pete—will stay out of her way. However, it seems Pete has decided that his two favorite humans, Lucy and Aaron, should be together.
And he—and the two tabby cats—will go to any lengths to make sure that happens.
