Catch of the Day
Kristan Higgins
Gideon's Cove #1
A lovelorn diner owner in a small coastal town sets her sights on the quiet, guarded lobsterman next door.
Description
First date à la Maggie: Take one lovelorn diner owner (me), a generous helping of nosy local gossips, a dollop of envy at married sister's perfect life, a splash of divine intervention (my matchmaking priest). Combine ingredients with one adorable puppy, add a strong but silent lobsterman with a hidden heart of gold and watch the sparks fly.
