Sweet Southern Comfort
by Candice Poarch
Beastly past…
Monroe Bedford wanted to do the right thing for his ailing grandmother’s business—not go head-to-head with Melanie Lambert, a sassy single mom intent on saving the town’s shopping complex. But the feisty beauty wouldn’t give up easily, and the more time he spent with Melanie and her precious nine-year-old daughter, the more he found the ice around his heart turning to mush.
Beautiful future…
Melanie was convinced that her fledgling business was her second chance at happiness. Now this dark and handsome man—and his kisses—were threatening her plan and her heart. Would Melanie be able to tame the brooding beast in time to give them both a second chance?
Originally published November 2006 in mass market paperback for Kimani Romance #19.

Candice Poarch takes pride in crafting believable stories featuring African-American heroes and heroines. The characters in her books demonstrate a strong sense of community and family support. She firmly believes that everyday life in America (whether small town or major metropolitan city) has its own rich rewards.

Her fourteenth book, BITTERSWEET, (Dafina, July, 2006) deals with the heart, family, extended family and community. "I really enjoyed Bittersweet... romance, comedy, mystery and intrigue...I would definitely recommend Bittersweet as a book club selection." —Karen Monroe, Woman2Woman Book Club member. Candice Poarch’s fifteenth book, SWEET SOUTHERN COMFORT, will be published by Kimani Press in November, 2006.
