THE UNRAVELING OF RAVEN
By THERESA SEDERHOLT

Book Blurb

At 27, Raven Anderson experienced more heartache then anyone would in their lifetime.  She felt she finally had her life on track when she started doing what she loved the most, teaching second grade.  The best-laid plans are not always the right path as Raven learns when fate puts her in the direct path of a mega billionaire named Jaxson James Phillips, the owner of a corporate raiding company called Raiders Inc.  With the spotlight now focused on Raven, her past is threatening her future.  So, she does what she does best, run!

The beautiful girl with the violet eyes has left Jax, who never gets rattled, totally speechless.  He has always gotten whatever he wanted.  So, why was this beautiful girl running away from him?  As time goes on he slowly unravels the many layers of Raven, but what he finds puts everyone around them in danger.

Can anyone survive?

• Add the vegetable or fish stock a little at a time to form a smooth sauce.
• Simmer for a least 10 minutes to allow the flour to “cook out,”
• Add the heavy cream and heat thru,
• Reduce the heat and then slowly add the White Cheddar Cheese, Stirring as you go to incorporate into a smooth sauce, do not boil.

• Gently stir the lobster meat into the cheese sauce
