Hook, Line And Single (Sepia)

the long version

HOOK--As in hook up. For newly divorced Roxanne Ingram, it's a new age of speed dating, singles parties and noncommittal encounters.

What about roses, candlelight and a lover who wants endless tomorrows?SINGLE--Relax, it's just a state of mind.Between keeping her business afloat, coping with a teenage daughter and lying awake fantasizing about the mysterious and sexy new client who wants her to watch his cat, Roxanne feels like a fish out of water. Luckily, she's got courage, faith and a mind of her own.
