About It Seemed Like a Good Idea
Grumpy meets sunshine in this charming and hilarious forbidden small town romantic comedy from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lauren Blakely! Where there is only one bed in the room…
I really do not need a bodyguard―I run a small-town lavender farm, for bee’s sake! But I am getting one anyway since my identical twin sister just booked the movie role of a lifetime and it is being shot in my hometown. And guess who my new broody, tattooed protector is? None other than the guy I had a one-night stand with last month.
Correction: he is the guy with the wicked mouth and heated eyes who ran out on me before the bang without so much as goodbye. And of course he arrives in my tiny hometown where the film is shooting right in the nick of time to save me from the paparazzi at the market. The coffee shop. The dress shop too. I am trying hard to stay mad after the third time the sexy jerk rescues me.
To top it all off, he is staying in the cottage at my farm. With me. And there is only one bed.
Maybe just one night would relieve all this tension? But one night turns into another, and then into sharing hearts and secrets that are best locked up. Especially since he is leaving and I am staying, and there is no way we can be more than a summer romance that ends far too soon.
