No Offense by Meg Cabot

No Offense by Meg Cabot

New York Times-bestselling author Meg

Cabot returns with a charming romance between a children's

librarian and the town sheriff in the second book in the Little Bridge

Island series.

Welcome

to Little Bridge, one of the smallest, most beautiful islands in the Florida

Keys, home to sandy white beaches, salt-rimmed margaritas, and stunning sunsets--a

place where nothing goes under the radar and love has a way of sneaking up when

least expected... 

A broken engagement only gave Molly

Montgomery additional incentive to follow her dream job from the Colorado Rockies

to the Florida Keys. Now, as Little Bridge Island Public Library's head of

children's services, Molly hopes the messiest thing in her life will be her

sticky-note covered desk. But fate--in the form of a newborn left in the

restroom--has other ideas. So does the sheriff who comes to investigate the

"abandonment".  When John Hartwell folds

all six-feet-three of himself into a tiny chair and insists that whoever left

the baby is a criminal, Molly begs to differ and asks what he's doing about the

Island's real crime wave (if thefts of items from homes that have been

left unlocked could be called that). Not the best of starts, but the man's

arrogance is almost as distracting as his blue eyes. Almost... 

John would be pretty irritated if one

of his deputies had a desk as disorderly as Molly's. Good thing she doesn't

work for him, considering how attracted he is to her. Molly's lilting librarian

voice makes even the saltiest remarks go down sweeter, which is bad as long as

she's a witness but might be good once the case is solved--provided he hasn't

gotten on her last nerve by then. Recently divorced, John

has been having trouble adjusting to single life as well as single parenthood. But

something in Molly's beautiful smile gives John hope that his old life on

Little Bridge might suddenly hold new promise--if only they can get over their

differences. 

Clever, hilarious, and

fun, No Offense will tug at readers'

heartstrings and make them fall in love with Little Bridge Island and its

unique characters once again.

Tanuja Desai Hidier is American-born and currently based in the UK. She grew up in Wilbraham, Massachusetts and graduated from Brown University. Prior to moving to the UK, she lived in New York City, where she worked by day as a writer/editor for magazines, CD-ROM projects and websites.
Her first novel, Born Confused, is a coming-of-age story with an Indian-American protagonist, an aspiring photographer living in New Jersey, and is set in both NJ and New York City, largely in the context of the burgeoning South Asian Club scene. The heart of Born Confused is about learning to bring two cultures together without falling apart, yourself, in the process. The book takes its title from ABCD, or American Born Confused Desi, a slightly derogatory term that the first generation South Asians in the States and elsewhere use to describe these second generation Americans who are supposedly confused about their South Asian backgroun. Desi is Hindi for from my country.
This theme of first and second generation India, and of finding your place in America, figures prominently in much of Desai Hidier's other work as well. her Partition-era short story, The Border, was awarded first prize in the fiction category in the London Writers/Waterstones Competition in October 2001. Also in the fall of 2001, her short story, Tiger, Tiger, was included in the Big City Lit anthology (New York City) celebrating the last decade of Asian-American writing. Earlier versions of both these works were part of the collection of connected stories for which whe was the 1995 recipient of the James Jones First Novel Fellowship Award.
Desai Hidier's short films, The Test (she wrote and directed) and The Assimiliation Alphabet (she co-wrote and -directed) deal with many of the same cultural assimilation themes as her fiction. The Test has screened at the Tribeca Film Center as
