Down And Out In Flamingo Beach
by Marcia King-Gamble

Mine is simple: return to my old hometown to help my ailing Granny "J" give her failing quilt shop a major makeover, and hightail it back to Los Angeles and civilization.

Settling down in small-town Flamingo Beach isn't on the agenda. Neither is falling for someone like Derek Morse, even if the gorgeous construction worker has velvet-smooth skin and a rock-hard body that's been starring in all my illicit daydreams. Besides, Derek has me pegged for a seriously high-maintenance sister.

But as I'm about to learn, first impressions can be misleading. And taking the time to learn the truth about someone could lead to all kinds of delightful and mutually satisfying discoveries....

Marcia King-Gamble's Bio

I've been called a dancing fool and the truth of the matter is I love to dance. Recently took up ballroom dancing but I'm the worst ballroom dancer there is. Primarily because I don't follow instructions and like to freestyle. The same goes for life. Let's see, what would you like to know about me?

"The dancing fool" is Caribbean American and a self- proclaimed globetrotter. I've had a colorful career in the travel industry and can tell you that every horrendous story you've heard about corporate life is most likely true.

I have degrees in psychology and theater, a menagerie of animals and live in Florida. One of my favorite things to do on weekends is to attend estate sales in search of "collectibles." A visit to my home will verify that.
