ⓘ About Melinda Curtis
Melinda Curtis is a USA Today Bestseller romance, humor and comedy author. Before she began writing, she worked as a junior manager for a Fortune 500 company. The author loves romances about women who never realize that they’re strong until a hero comes their way. When not writing romance stories, Melinda can be found bonding with her husband over remodelling projects. This happens before she even can come to terms with his death. Her husband has been cheating on her the whole time they were married. She’s trying to find the person who is sleeping with her husband. But will she be happy when she finds out? Lola makes it clear that she’ll never fall in Love again, but the matchmaking ladies of the Sunshine Valley Widows Club have other plans.
