Homegrown Muse

by Sally Bennett

Overview

Free-spirited Lyssa Smith sees her life thrown into chaos when she unwittingly exposes a plot devised by Tank Turnbull, a powerful land developer. But doing the right thing comes at a price, as Turnbull and his conspirators seek to save themselves by destroying her reputation, ruining her career, and exposing her secrets. With her carefully constructed life crumbling around her, Lyssa seizes the opportunity to salvage her dreams by forging an unlikely alliance with Dane Callicott.

Still grappling with the failure of his latest venture, the unconventional Highline Resort, Dane is presented with another maverick proposition, but he’ll need Lyssa’s help to carry it off. Should Dane listen to his muse and risk his family’s fortune on another visionary project, or will he return to the safe but unsustainable practices of his father?

Shackled by family expectations, battered by a series of betrayals, and blinded by impossible choices, Dane and Lyssa might very well bulldoze over their one chance for happiness—unless together they can blaze a new trail forward.

About the Author

Sally Bennett has written several books about the desert of Arizona, which she is as passionate about preserving as is her heroine Lyssa Smith. Her first income came from selling organic produce grown in her parents' extensive garden, though her adult career
consists of writing and editing.

Her first print publication came at the age of seven, when she had a Halloween poem
printed in the newspaper. Her real fifteen minutes of fame, though, came a few years later when she placed in the top 10 at the National Spelling Bee.

She studied creative writing at the University of Wisconsin - Madison and went on to receive graduate-level certification in the Scholarly Editing and Publishing Program at Arizona State University. She has edited, proofread, or indexed well over 200 books and has written articles and book review for professional journals and popular magazines and newspapers.

Homegrown Muse is her fifth novel but the first to be published as an e-book.
