In HOT TO TROT, the third installment of The Middle-Aged Hottie series, author Linda Cousine continues to blend rom-com and satire in her lighthearted books for women of “a certain age.” With her trademark caustic wit, Cousine takes on society’s obsession with youth, fame and fortune, while shining light on some of the harsher realities of aging.

If the shoe fits ... the bill might be more than you bargained for.

Life couldn’t be better for former supermodel, Lexi Taylor, when her brainchild, a stiletto with two heels instead of one, becomes an overnight sensation. Her relationship with sexy ex-husband, Richard, rocks along and they’re closer than ever. But Lexi might just be facing a few false starts when her father’s Alzheimer’s grows more serious and he, more often than not, thinks she’s her mother and insists on turning up the heat between them.

Adding more stress to Lexi’s complicated life, Lexi and Richard become the surrogate parents to Richard’s ex-fiancé’s little girl when she unexpectedly arrives at their doorstep. Even as Lexi struggles to balance the new challenges in her life, she just might learn that the second time around the track could be better than the first.
