Lovejoy: a novel about desire
Daphne Simpkins

Or at least that’s how it felt when the elder in her church, Franklin Lovejoy, invited her to Sunday lunch. She thought he was going to deliver a message of church discipline. Something else happened instead.
Desire happened …and it wasn’t just for the bread pudding with whiskey sauce. Lovejoy happened to Cindy Louise Bell.
But the church lady happened to him, too.
His love changed her. Her love changed him. What plays in the background of their attraction are all the great love songs that tell the histories of other loves when romance was vital and desire a form of intrigue and surrender that makes life feel like a many splendored thing.
Lovejoy is that story. If you know that the experience of desire is different than its reputation, Lovejoy is for you.
