About this listen

Beloved author Molly Harper launches a brand-new contemporary romance series, Southern Eclectic, with this story of a big-city party planner who finds true love in a small Georgia town.

Nestled on the shore of Lake Sackett, Georgia, is the McCready Family Funeral Home and Bait Shop. (What, you have a problem with one-stop shopping?) Two McCready brothers started two separate businesses in the same building back in 1928, and now it's become one big family affair. And, true to form in small Southern towns, family business becomes everybody's business.

Margot Cary has spent her life immersed in everything Lake Sackett is not. As an elite event planner, Margot's rubbed elbows with the cream of Chicago society and made elegance and glamour her business. She's riding high until one event goes tragically, spectacularly wrong. Now she's blackballed by the gala set and in dire need of a fresh start - and apparently the McCreadys are in need of an event planner with a tarnished reputation.

As Margot finds her footing in a town where everybody knows not only your name but what you had for dinner last Saturday night and what you'll wear to church on Sunday morning, she grudgingly has to admit that there are some things Lake Sackett does better than Chicago - including the dating prospects.

Elementary school principal Kyle Archer is a fellow fish out of water who volunteers to show Margot the picture-postcard side of Southern living. The two of them hit it off, but not everybody is happy to see an outsider snapping up one of the town's most eligible gentleman. Will Margot reel in her handsome fish, or will she have to release her latest catch?

At such a time, her grandaunt Tootie from her long lost paternal family called her and asked her to join their funeral business in Georgia.

Margot had never heard of them. Yet, she moved to Lake Sackett to earn a living. They joyously welcomed her with hope and gladness. Her uncles and cousins patted her on the back. They handed her cups of tea, while laughing gaily. Her father Stanley McCready was quite pleased that his little girl came back. It made a difference to her in many ways. Aunt Tootie gave her sympathy, not as her relative, but as her friend. It took some time, yet Margot was so touched by the superfluity of simple confidence in a woman of Tootie's mature years, she opened the ample reservoirs of her nature and absorbed it all.

When she set her eyes on Kyle Archer, her heart gave a big throb simultaneously. His sensibility gave a pensive tone to his spirits, and a softness to his manner, which rendered him a very interesting object to Margot. She saw a spark in his eyes, sweet, fetching and beguiling. There was something in Margot's straightforward manner, that amused Kyle in his present mood. She looked such a picture!

Margot Cary’s latest event had ended in leaving her face to face with the most palpable and the most disheartening failure.
