The Friendship Oak -- Where Love Grows

Years ago Lee Stratton made a terrible mistake -- he betrayed a great friend named Penny. She was the one person who understood him, the girl who excited him, yet she frightened him since he wasn't used to feeling such strong emotions. When young Lee made a bet with the guys that he could get Penny to kiss him, his buddies watched and cheered as he won the bet, then turned and walked away. Devastated to learn Lee was a traitor, Penny, who later decides to use her real name, Meredith, heals her broken heart by loving and giving to others. Lee, the Iceman, spends years trying to convince himself that he doesn't need love, that it isn't necessary like food or water in life. When he finds Meredith and her daughter staying at his family's home where his father accepts them more than he feels close to his son, Lee is bitter. Not for long, though. His glacial cool melts as flames of desire rage inside him each time he sees Meredith. At Sand Castle, his home near the Gulf, he learns to love while she learns to forgive. The Friendship Oak -- once a place of pain and betrayal -- becomes the solid foundation for their bright future together.Lorraine Carroll writes from the heart and the characters in BEAUTY AND THE GROOM reflect this. BEAUTY AND THE GROOM is a wonderful story that makes readers go away smiling long after they've turned the last page and closed the book.
