Kai comes home every Christmas to spend time with his family. Only this time he’s here to stay.
The last person he expects to run into while delivering flowers for his sister’s flower shop is his one night stand from last Christmas.
Will the sparks return? Or, has their chance of a new connection fizzled?
I need this promotion.
Too bad I have to temporarily move to a small town to prove I deserve it. And, it’s not as easy as I thought it would be.
My car? Ends up in a ditch.
A hot shower? Interrupted by a snake.
Not to mention the quiet. How do people fall asleep without background noise?
The only good thing about Asheville is the mechanic that comes to my rescue and offers to fix my car. He’s playful, kind, and promises he’s not looking for a relationship, which is great since I won’t be here long. He can show me everything this town has to offer, including “other activities”…with no strings attached.
But how can I keep my eye on the prize when he’s looking at me like I’m his?
Pregnant and alone. That’s not how I expected to end up after high school.
Jake wants me back. But I don’t want that toxic relationship. We aren’t good together and this baby isn’t the reason we should work things out.
Between work and school, I barely have time to figure out what I want to do. That is until I’m paired up with a hot guy in class for a project. He’s slowly working his way into my heart. But, I’m pregnant and trying to adjust to my new life. How can he actually be interested in me?
With Jake home from college, he’s doubling his efforts. Especially now that he sees me with Reaf.
I have decisions to make...and it’s not just about me anymore.
One night was all it was supposed to be…so why is he sitting in my office right now?
Agreeing to do the floral arrangements for a high profile wedding has opened the doors wide open for Whoopsie Daisy. My friends and I have more than we can handle, and hiring people to help is at the top of our list.
What I didn’t expect is for a job to be given to my one night stand, who happens to be younger than me. I knew he wanted to go out again, but I didn’t think he’d apply for a job at my flower shop. Though, I don’t remember telling him where I worked.
I can handle this. We’re both adults. Working together won’t be a problem. Too bad fighting my attraction to Xander is turning out to be the hardest thing I’ve ever done.
The bartender is cute, and I may have a crush on him.
But it’s not like I’m going to do anything because I have David, my son, to worry about
Which is fine until my ex-husband walks in with a younger and thinner girl on his arm. Then I grab on to the bartender with both hands and introduce him as my boyfriend.
This is a small town and word spreads. What was supposed to be one night becomes a fake relationship to keep up the ruse.
Catching feelings, though? That can’t happen.
Whose idea was it to pair my happy-go-lucky neighbor with me? Someone is going to regret that decision.
Being voluntold to participate in a planning committee for the Spring Bloom Festival was the last thing I wanted.
Walking in to find out my “there’s always a brightside” neighbor is also on the committee, my worst nightmare.
He is sunshine. I am thunder.
And after my not so graceful entry into his life, he’s someone I avoid at all costs. Except the committee leaders decided to pair us together.
I love Whoopsie Daisy more than anything and would do anything for my business and friends, but why does it have to be this?
So much for staying away from him. Fighting his charm has never been more crucial. Especially with the reputation of the shop on the line.
The former star quarterback is home, and I’ve caught his eye.
You’d think I would be happy. Most girls would. But he didn’t even know I existed back then, and I don’t see why I should give him the time of day now.
I’ve gone out of my way to avoid him when he comes into the bar, which worked until he applied for a job.
Now, I’m stuck with him. Not only because we work together, but he’s also my ride to work after I fell off a ladder and he offers to help.
He seems like he’s changed, except he doesn’t know what his next step is. Who knows if he’s going to stay for good.
The only problem…the more time we spend together, the harder it is to keep my attraction to him at bay.
Emily's story
* Second Chance
* Wrong Side of the Tracks
My best friend’s brother, Devin, is the reason I high-tailed it out of Asheville.
Now, I’m back because this place feels like home and I’m ready to put down roots. Even if everything at Out of the Ashes has changed since I last worked here.
I have every intention of avoiding Devin this time around. Not only because it would never work, but because we hid our relationship from his sister. A guilt I still carry with me.
The only problem…he’s performing at the bar every weekend, and he wants to pick up where things left off.
