KFC has an interesting present for mothers. The fast food chain is giving nothers a unique Mother’s Day gift with its first romance novella, “Tender Wings of Desire,” featuring Harland Sanders as the love interest.
Set in Victorian England, the novella follows rebellious Lady Madeline Parker, who finally feels like she is in control of her life after running away from Parker Manor and a loveless betrothal. When she finds herself swept into the arms of Harland, a handsome sailor with a mysterious past, she realizes she cannot control how she feels. Madeline must choose between a life of order and a man of passion.
With the novella, which is paired with a $20 Fill Up™ featuring KFC’s Extra Crispy™ Chicken, mothers can skip cooking to relax and read. KFC $20 Fill Up™ features eight pieces of Extra Crispy™ Chicken, a large cole slaw, four biscuits and two large helpings of mashed potatoes and gravy.
“The only thing better than being swept away by the deliciousness of our Extra Crispy Chicken is being swept away by Harland Sanders himself,” said George Felix, director of advertising for KFC U.S., in a statement “So this Mother’s Day, the bucket of chicken I get for my wife will come with a side of steamy romance novella. Dinner is taken care of and she’ll have the time to escape her busy schedule.”
The restaurant serves about 380,000 families each year on Mother’s Day, according to KFC.
