About the book
THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME
Itinerant chef Eddie King had spent most of his life moving from place to place, looking for something he could never seem to find. But suddenly he found himself headed for the place that had most seemed like home -- once. And it was there he found Mala Koleski. He'd known her as a perky teenager; now she was a battle-weary single mother. So why did Eddie find her even more appealing this time around? And, more importantly, what was he going to do about it?
Simple: Convince the lovely Mala that underneath her frazzled-mom exterior was a temptress itching to get out. Even take on her whole damn brood, if that was what it took! It was a dirty job, but somebody had to do it....
