The Enchanted Garden Cafe (The South Side Stories, #1)

by Abigail Drake

Overview

She knew trouble when she saw it, and he was definitely trouble.

After spending years dealing with her flighty mother, a café on the edge of ruin, a misbehaving backyard fountain, and tea that may or may not be increasing the libido of her elderly neighbors, Fiona Campbell has had enough. She's ready to move out, get away from her mother and all the craziness that accompanies her, and start a life of her own. The last thing she needs is another complication, especially one like Matthew Monroe.

When he walks through their door with a guitar on his back and a sexy gleam in his eyes, Fiona knows she should stay away. She doesn't trust him, or his motives, but there is something about Matthew that draws her close, against her better judgment. And when disaster strikes, it seems he's the only one she can turn to for help.

But Matthew represents all the things she's spent a lifetime trying to escape. She has her future mapped out in detail, including what kind of man she should date. She wants safety and predictability, but could it be that the best thing that ever happened to her is the one thing she never planned on?
