"A minor Inconvenience" Release Party
2024-10-12 11:00 - 14:00 UTC | Dragon Tale Books
Chelsea Jean‘s book “A minor Inconvenience” will be released on October 10, so we’re celebrating. She’ll have books for sale and signing. I bet she’ll read some if we ask. And of course some treats.
Book Blurb:
At 30 years old, Murphie has everything she thinks she wants. A steady job, a handsome boyfriend, the best friend you could ask for, and her lovable dog. She isn’t ready for a minor inconvenience to be thrown her way. She is determined to make her relationship work and not get distracted by Gavin’s thick arms, dimpled smile, and good heart; especially because she is his boss.
22-year-old Gavin is a senior in college with plans to attend veterinarian grad school in Scotland. And even though she has a boyfriend, he can’t keep his eyes or thoughts off of Murphie—her flowing auburn hair and the freckles covering her nose and arms. He thinks she is the funniest and sexiest woman he’s ever met. She thinks he’s too young.
Can Murphie keep Gavin in the friend zone when he is determined to become so much more?
