An Evening with Stephanie Fournet!
Join us at CHB Lafayette as we host Stephanie Fournet in celebration of her newest release Spicy Ever After on June 10 at 5:30 p.m.!
Stephanie will be in conversation with Lindsey Gutierrez, co-host of the podcast Read Me Like One of Your Books.
Make sure to RSVP through Bon Temps Tix! Copies of Spicy Ever After will be available at the event. General admission tickets will be available up to the event itself or until sold out – tickets are free, and we love a good headcount!
Stephanie returns to our shelves with Spicy Ever After, a romance novel set locally that involves neurodivergent themes and rediscovering passion.
Hattie Mercier’s neurotypical family are too normie to appreciate the magical hum of a sewing machine, the silky seduction of buttery carbs, or not-so-silent interior monologues. As the only neurospicy member of the family, Hattie has always felt like she’s too big, too loud, and too much.
Beck Olivier has spent the last two years with the world on his shoulders. Between harvesting acres of sweet potatoes, keeping the family farm afloat, and caring for his dad, he barely has time for the passion project that might actually save them. And zero time for a social life.
If she hadn’t been crying in that restaurant’s back alley, he might have stood a chance. But twenty minutes with the stunning, funny, and unfiltered Hattie, and Beck’s life may never be the same.
