House of Cards - Tapa blanda

The reason may be cards, but the game is really gossip.
Kaylen Strauder is more or less content with her status as a widow. She&;s had decades to watch the gossip games in the Freshwater Magnolia Club—and she wants none of it to be about her.

Coping with domineering men all her life, she didn&;t count on Eda Byrne. She didn&;t plan for love, let alone passion, and with another woman. She never believed in irresistible attraction, until now.
Past the time of life when she ever thought she&;d have to make such choices, Kaylen must decide which she needs more: her community or love.

Nat Burns peels away the civilized veneer of a small North Carolina town in this passionate story of a mature woman discovering the price and value of love for the first time.
