Thank you for your interview, Charlie.  How old are you and what do you do for a living? 

I’m twenty-five and run my family’s diner.

What is your most treasured possession? 

A box of recipes given to me by my foster mother, Anita.

What is your greatest fear? 

Something happening to my family—it happens more than you’d think. Or…at least it does in my family.

What are three must haves when shopping at the grocery store? 

Popcorn, ice cream, and coffee.

Are you a loner or do you prefer to surround yourself with friends? 

Oh, I love to be with people. That’s one thing about running the diner—there are always lots of familiar faces.  

Who is your best friend? 

My sister, Alexandra.

Do you have children? 

Yes! One adorable daughter we call Mack.

What’s your idea of a perfect meal? 

Any meal is perfect when prepared with love for people you love.

I wanted to be a part of a family. That’s really all I’ve ever wanted.

About the Book:

BOOK BLURB:

A single mother and owner of the town diner, Charlie McKay couldn’t be happier with her life in Blue Creek. Taking care of everyone around her is a labor of love, but the secret she’s keeping about her daughter’s parentage lurks beneath the surface. With the scars of the past still not healed, Charlie isn’t interested in adding a man to her life, even if that man is the oh-so-tempting Craig Sutton.
Determined to own his own bar, as his father had, Craig Sutton is a man on a mission. But wanting to enjoy small town life is only one of the reasons he moved to the mountains of North Carolina.

Whether meaning to or not, Craig can’t keep from getting involved with the McKay family, and the closer he gets to Charlie and her daughter the more entangled he becomes.

In Blue Creek secrets have always run deep, and someone is now trying to expose Charlie’s in a disturbing way. She isn’t the only one with something to hide, however, and deception threatens a possible relationship between her and Craig. As hidden truths are revealed and danger increases, Charlie must find a way to face the past or lose everything.
