"A Tutelarius Love" is a clean romance novel about a wealthy California girl who comes to Arkansas for a self-inflicted reliance test. Woodsy lore and culture shock give this story a rural feel. Sometimes humorous, sometimes sad, readers have declared the book a page-turner.
Megan's father is a wealthy business man who dotes on his only daughter. After a failed romance with the man her father selected for her, she begins to question her ability to make decisions. When she sees an ad in the newspaper about a remote cabin in Arkansas, she decides it would be the perfect place to test her skill at taking care of herself.
When a young man keeps showing up in her life, she comes to the conclusion that her father sent him to play guardian. At first she is annoyed, but after a while she begins to enjoy his company. Under his tutelage, she finds self-confidence and first love.
Into the cozy world she created for a 4-week vacation, comes her ex-fiancé...and the reality that all this fun must come to an end. She is no longer the same person who came to Arkansas. She is going to need the self-reliance she discovered to face the next challenge.
