Themis Eagleson

Romance in the Storm Themis Eagleson

Lorna has a big weight problem and a dead-end job she hates. Alone in her UK home, she tells herself she is happy with her life, but deep down she knows the truth. Finding the courage to finally be honest with herself, she quits her job and makes plans to visit a good friend in America for a holiday. Once in the exhilarating, but soon to be hurricane-ravaged city of New Orleans, she finds herself immediately attracted to her friend, whom she hadn't seen in years. Of course, he already has a girlfriend who looks like a supermodel, so she knows she doesn't stand a chance with him. Witnessing the rebuilding of the once grand city after Hurricane Katrina, Lorna realizes that the time has come to shed the weight she put on to protect herself from being hurt by love. Now she has to learn the hardest lesson of all: that in order to find love, you have to first love yourself.
