The Changed Man

by Cat Treadgold

Overview

Jake O'Connell causes quite a stir by showing up in Port Townsend for his brother David's wedding. The twin of country heartthrob Joe Bob Blade has upended his enviable life by resigning as CEO of the family business. In North Bend, he dressed to the nines, dazzled associates, and resided in an architect's showplace. But he bore a grudge against the brothers who left him to hold down the fort while they gallivanted off to follow their bliss.

Now Jake is content to rattle around in a rented Victorian mansion. He appears easygoing, though distracted. His recently dead friend haunts his thoughts, making him fear for his sanity.

Jake has a new career, one frowned upon in his social circle. He writes thrillers. The muse he finds in Port Townsend is just as inappropriate: the married, beguiling Chiara.

The Changed Man is a recipient of the Literary Titan's Book Award.
