Cygne Rouge

Miranda Darrow fears no factory. Engineer Miranda Darrow has a pleasing but predictable life: good job, great friends, and her steady date, Andy. When her company sends her alone to a job site in south Florida for several weeks, she gallantly battles software, hardware, a hard swearing plant manager, and a nest of rats. She takes steps to fight boredom after work and learns to tango. When her company sends her abroad it s a dream come true, except she can t figure out why the client needs her. Nor can she believe that her new sweetheart wants to spend a weekend dancing with another woman. A fickle lover and an inscrutable client certainly make life more interesting, if not more comfortable. Funny and romantic, Cygne Rouge celebrates love, friendship, and the people who make stuff work. Winner of the Beverly Hills Book Award.
