The Queen of New Beginnings

Alice Shoemaker habitually goes to great lengths to avoid telling the truth about herself and her past. After agreeing to help out a friend, by shopping and cleaning for the unknown man staying at Cuckoo House, she soon becomes suspicious that her strange and obnoxiously rude client has something to hide…

Clayton Miller’s life is a mess. His career as one of the country’s best comedy scriptwriters has stalled and his long-term girlfriend has left him for his ex best friend and ex writing partner. Just when he thinks his life couldn’t get any worse, he commits a spectacularly public fall from grace and with the press hounding him, his agent banishes him to the middle of nowhere until the dust has settled. And there he meets Alice…

When Alice and Clayton discover the truth about each other they form an unlikely friendship – until Alice discovers Clayton has betrayed her in the worst possible way.


Two characters, both hiding for different reasons, meet and things happen.  Both characters are very likable and quickly I cared about them and wanted to know what happened in their lives.  We meet quite a few characters and learn their places in Alice and Clayton's lives, some you love and others are those we love to hate!  I look forward to reading more of Erica James' books in the near future.

This one sounds interesting and I like the fact that you might not care for all of the characters!!

Sounds like an interesting one. I wonder what's in Alice's past.
