The Placeholder

Serenade Kincaid was a successful a US attorney, winning cases for her clients along the line. However, it was such an irony when she did not only give up virtually everything she owned in a divorce case against her husband, but also lost the visitation rights she craved for. Depressed, drowning in debt and self-pity, Sera’s life had hit rock bottom. It was a very unpleasant place to be for someone that loved fun.

After a series of failed attempts at getting into another relationship, Sera had to settle for a placeholder—a “bad boyfriend” that could keep her company and satisfy her sexual needs in the interim.  However, things took an unexpected turn as their relationship blossomed, maybe the placeholder could be the dream partner she had always longed for.

Characters in the book include Zac, Hank, Carolyn, Angelica, Dean, Marta, Tim, Doris, Vance, Martin, and Mel etc.

The Placeholder is an entertaining love story that will definitely keep readers engaged till the very end.
