hiccup....
Lucy seems to be out on a limb. Everybody has a boyfriend except her, and since she put Tony on the back burner he's found someone else. Then on a spa weekend with Izzie, she meets someone who seems just right for her. And he feels the same way about her.
But after a while, Lucy starts to feel smothered. Can someone love you too much? Maybe the life of a singleton isn't so bad after all!
About the Author
Born in 1950's Manchester, England, Cathy Hopkins moved to Kenya with her family at the age of 5. The Hopkins family remained in Kenya for six years before returning to England in 1964. In her youth, Cathy attended six different schools and that consistent change foreshadowed her career choices. Before becoming a full time writer, Hopkins held down a wide variety of jobs ranging from rock singer to occupational therapist to aromatherapist. Her career in writing started with books of the non-fiction genre that involved aromatherapy and relationships. She was later commissioned to write books for a young adult audience which she now focuses on strictly. She currently resides in Northern England with her husband, Steve and their three cats.
