The Things We Bring To The Table

R. It was a Cinderella love story. The diamond-in-the-ruff beauty, Cree, is swooned by the uber rich Russ Rutledge, but a decade later, the fairy dust has collected on the ceiling fans, and Cree finds herself married to a man who refuses to touch her. She’s all but given up on the marriage, and on life itself until she encounters the parallel-world version of the self she would’ve become had she followed her passion. The Grammy nominated singer with the stage name Lulu McQueen doesn’t disclose that she’d just escaped the hands of kidnappers; she simply offers Cree the option to trade places. Cree opens that Pandora’s box and falls in. She’s instantly famous and finds herself entangled in a steamy affair with this world’s bachelor version of her abstinent husband. Unfortunately, for Cree, things unravel quickly as she learns that Lulu left this world to escape pending criminal charges, financial ruin, and a threat upon her life. There’s also this secret that Cree kept, for many years, that is out in this world.; it’s a secret that had changed the course of her life. In this thriller, Cree must risk it all, along a journey of self-discovery while tracking down the one person capable of transporting her back to her world, but she must enlists the help of someone likely to double-cross Cree to crossover himself for his own second chance at love.
