Sweet Caroline (9781794096264)

Southern charm, sweet tea, and Tater Tots(TM) mixed with a hint of international espionage and romance. Welcome to the new world of Caroline Sweet. Hashim, mysterious and (of course) handsome, is Caroline's new tenant in the garage apartment and she can't figure out if she's captivated or frightened by his intensity and intelligence. Maybe a little bit of both if she lets herself think about it, but Caroline has other important things to pay attention to: navigating grad school, working full-time, her brother's military deployment, her mother's battle with dementia, and the loneliness that has been her companion since her father died. Circumstances escalate after Caroline invites Hashim to join her for a meal of Tater Tot (TM) casserole and suddenly finds herself thrust into Hashim's dangerous and complex world of secrecy and political power plays. She has no choice but to marry him because her very life depends on it. For Hashim, marrying Caroline (who is unlike any woman he has... um... dated) was the last thing he wanted, but now it's the only choice to keep her safe. He never meant to put her in danger, and his sense of responsibility has him signing paperwork, taking Caroline as his wife, and sending her to live with his family. While without her husband in a foreign country, her aloof mother-in-law's presence makes Caroline wonder if she is fated to be alone for the rest of her life. Told from a dual perspective, this suspenseful, action-packed story will have you on the edge of your seat, quickly flipping pages, and rooting for these two struggling and flawed people as they learn what it means to love and be loved.
