Sure Thing
by Lorie O'Clare

Joanie Showalter didn't plan on spending her anniversary cruise alone, but when her husband files for divorce, the last thing Joanie is going to do is let him and his new girlfriend have the tickets. Joanie also didn't plan on being stranded in Seward, Alaska, mid-cruise. Her situation grows worse when an old Inuit woman accuses her of using a sex charm to seduce her grandson.

Corbin Silver was raised to treat women with respect. He would never make passes at a lady simply because she's distractingly beautiful. But it's not every day a gorgeous woman believes a necklace will make him lust after her. This is too good of an opportunity to pass up. After all, the entire town is just waiting for them to have sex.

After a few days together he knows that magic or not, he doesn't want Joanie to leave. Joanie is struggling with the same attraction. Maybe magic brought them together, but if it's true love, there is nothing stronger to keep them from falling apart.

Lorie O'Clare's Bio

All my life, I've wondered at how people fall into the routines of life. The paths we travel seemed to be well-trodden by society. We go to school, fall in love, find a line of work (and hope and pray it is one we like), have children and do our best to mold them into good people who will travel the same path. This is the path so commonly referred to as the "real world". The characters in my books are destined to stray down a different path other than the one society suggests. Each story leads the reader into a world altered slightly from the one they know. For me, this is what good fiction is about, an opportunity to escape from the daily grind and wander down someone else's path. Lorie O'Clare lives in Kansas with her three sons.
