Have you ever been so focused on something that you pushed everything else aside? I am that way about books. :) I love to grab my favorite books and forget about cleaning and laundry. But I've never been focused on a career. In Penelope Holt's latest romance, her main character was just that focused until one man upset her plans. 

POLLY WANTS A LOVER is a modern love story about what happens when the bloom fades from a marriage. Polly's husband turns out to be a cheater and her career was sidelined while she cared for her husband. What's a girl to do?? 

POLLY WANTS A LOVER will pull at a reader's heartstrings as Polly faces her failings and finds a reason to find love again. POLLY WANTS A LOVER is up for preorder and releases on Jan. 7th. Don't miss your chance at this heartwarming tale!

Blurb:
Polly wants a lover to outmatch her cheating husband and heal her broken heart.
From childhood, Polly Sullivan was obsessed with one thing—becoming a professional dancer, right up until the day Christian Caldwell strode into her life. A sexual magnet and force of nature, he seduced her with his irresistible lovemaking, taking over her life and undermining her ambition, until he alone was her sole obsession.

Six years later, and now Christian’s wife, Polly’s career and confidence are in tatters. As she tails her husband’s latest mistress through a parking lot, fate puts her on a collision course with love when she runs her Subaru into a pick-up truck. Its owner, Marcus Bell, is heir to the legendary Turner-Bell horse farm, although he is currently estranged from his family and slumming as the manager of a dive bar.

As she discovers just how many affairs lie in her cheating husband’s past, a shaken Polly longs to recover her confidence and the career she abandoned to become Christian’s wife. She yearns to rekindle passion with a man she can trust. But as her lithe dancer’s body cries out for Marcus Bell’s touch, her injured heart screams no. Is Marcus the devoted lover she craves, or is Polly dancing from one heartbreak to another?
​
POLLY WANTS A LOVER is a wonderful romp through one woman’s awakening. Author Penelope Holt tells it like it is, as Polly sets out to find herself after marriage makes her small. This story is a great read for fans of Catherine Bybee’s “When it Falls Apart” or Kerry Fisher’s “The Woman I Was Before”.
