About the book
"You will be captivated by this delightful story set in a small town." - Woman's World for The Sisters Café
Experience a romance of enemies turned lovers in a charming Southern town, where two determined property owners compete against each other. Bestselling author Carolyn Brown brings her signature Southern twang to this tale.
It's been two and a half months since Brodie Carter arrived in Spanish Fort, Texas to meet his estranged father. Despite the initial shock, Brodie is welcomed into his newfound family. However, getting to know his seven half sisters and their spouses proves to be a challenging task. Especially with Audrey Ross, the feisty owner of the orchard next to his property, constantly trying to outdo him.
As Brodie navigates through Audrey's business negotiations and his Great Aunt Bernie's matchmaking attempts, a tornado strikes, leaving Brodie and his brothers homeless. Fortunately, his new family offers their help, allowing them to stay in the Paradise, a former brothel-turned-home.
While Audrey sees the storm as a sign for Brodie to sell his property, he refuses to give in. The tension between them is undeniable, and Aunt Bernie notices it. Can Brodie and Audrey put aside their differences over their properties and acknowledge the growing connection between them?
