A novella. When rich, reclusive, cat-loving Celia Thorsen is forced by her mother’s will to interact directly with the world, her life changes in a big way. As she takes her first reluctant steps, she constantly consults her priest and rails against her situation. She also seeks advice from the redoubtable Long Island activist, Dorothy Duncan, about how to create the no-kill cat shelter the will demands. Celia navigates setting up a nonprofit business with handsome new employee Noah Spangler, also a pet lover. When she discovers her Manhattan co-op board intends to oust all the pet owners in the building—including her with her two cats—Celia forges a friendship with another co-op resident, attractive Randolph Whitney, who has a large dog. Together, they plan to foil the board. New work, a new battle to fight, and two new men in her life. Because of a will. A novella. Celia’s Challenge is a novella sequel to Summer in the City and a prequel to A Daughter’s a Daughter. After Summer in the City: Remember Celia Thorsen, the sulky grown daughter of Senator Thorsen in Summer in the City?

Celia was a sad case: divorced and alone (except for her cats), without a career and living on a trust fund, and angry at her father for wanting to find happiness late in life. She didn’t present a pretty picture. Celia obviously was unhappy. In Summer in the City, as long as she got out of the way of her father’s plans and didn’t make a public scene, that was enough. But couldn't Celia find a better future for herself? Celia's Challenge is the next chapter in her life story. Before A Daughter's a Daughter: Remember Dorothy Duncan? She was Pam Ridgeway's difficult mom in A Daughter's a Daughter. Before Dorothy retired from her busy life as an activist, she helped many people.

Book Description
“I have a girlfriend,” he said. “Several, in fact.” He didn’t pretend to misunderstand what I’d asked. “What I need is a friend. Will you be my friend, Abbie?” My heart sank. The friendzone speech. I withdrew my hand. I should have known better. Sean might have some genuine interest in friendship, or he might be the kind of guy who denies he could ever be hot for a curvy girl. I’d met both kinds. I’d seduced my share, too, but today I didn’t have the heart for the struggle. I didn’t want to start myself down the same old path of wanting more than a man wanted to give me. Plus-sized soprano Abbie Fisher has a great opera career and a lousy love life. Dieting down a hundred pounds hasn’t changed her luck with men. Sexy baritone Sean Grant friendzones her—dashing her hopes for a romance—as they intimately rehearse the opera Tosca in Baltimore. Lots of touching to raise her temperature, and yet she’s supposed to keep her hands off. But then Sean snatches kisses and flirts with her, anyway. Is he pursuing a romance with her after all? What does he want from her? Confused and angered by Sean’s sexy overtures, Abbie consults her trusted Tarot cards before taking a bold step that could resolve her romantic dilemma—or break her heart. This novel is a stand-alone story and also Book 2 in the Singers in Love series about love, opera, and (maybe) the supernatural. A sweet contemporary romance with a hint of steam, much talk of food and dieting, and an upbeat happy ending. Enter the world of opera through the eyes of a woman in love.
