THE BOOKS (1st & 2nd books in the saga)
International Relations
​
From rags to riches and back again, Dee Campbell-Stark’s life has been turned upside down. Her wealthy husband Lance’s untimely demise has left her in an emotionally and financially uncertain world. Lance’s secret indiscretions are a past Dee now must bury along with her late-husband.
But the arrival of enigmatic and brooding Milo Phillips (Lance’s estranged American cousin) changes everything. A single mother now, Dee must decide the course of her uncertain future. Will she venture deeper into her unpopular friendship with Milo and risk the wrath of the Stark family? And what exactly will an idiosyncratic, quirky girl with no real aspirations or talents (other than a smart-mouth) do with her once-charmed life?
Not a run-of the-mill heroine. Not a stereotypical male protagonist. And the combination is refreshingly different. This modern-day classic is an intelligent and amusing, yet bitter-sweet romantic tale.
Dee Campbell is definitely on course for a fairy-tale future...right? Well...
The difficult decision to marry enigmatic Milo Phillips has been made. Her longed-for aspirations of 'family' finally seem to be coming to fruition.
However, insurmountable obstacles are thrown into her path; disapproving family, men, other men - and another woman. Oh, and whatever happened to that missing secretary?
Coloured with humour and heartbreak, 'American Cousins' (the second book in the 'International Relations' saga), paints the picture of hapless Dee's progressively messy life.
Will that happy-ever-after finally come about? Or will jealousy, deception, tragedy and mystery put the kibosh on that little fantasy once again?

​
