Publisher Description
“A pitch-perfect small-town romance focused on forgiveness, second chances, and new beginnings.” —Publishers Weekly on The Secret to a Southern Wedding
You can’t keep a sizzling little secret in a town like Peachtree Cove…
For a place that just won an award for Best Small Town, Peachtree Cove sure has a big rumor mill. And Tracey Thompson is tired of being at the center of it. She’s worked hard to make her bed-and-breakfast a success—only to have her soon-to-be ex’s very public affair with her business partner result in a shocking pregnancy…and the biggest scandal around.
If the whole town is going to talk no matter what she does, maybe it’s time that Tracey stopped trying to be perfect. Maybe she should start doing things for herself—like having a little fun. And Brian Nelson, the sexy nursery owner who supplies plants for all her special events, is more than willing to help.
Fresh out of a bad marriage, Brian is done with drama. Ever since high school, he’s admired Tracey’s strength and sass, and a friends with benefits deal sounds perfect. But now everyone in Peachtree Cove is talking. And they can all see what Brian and Tracey don’t want to admit, even to themselves…that nothing complicates a simple arrangement quite like love…

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Former frenemies agree to a friends-with-benefits arrangement in Williams's high-drama third Peachtree Cove contemporary (after Waiting for Friday Night). Since Peachtree Cove, Ga., won a best small-town award, business at Tracey Thompson's bed and breakfast has been booming. Though the hype boosted her bottom line, Tracey prefers to stay under the radar, having grown up as the talk of the town due to her parents' many scandals. But when her husband cheats with and impregnates Tracey's assistant, she's pulled back into the rumor mill. To make matters worse, it's Brian Nelson, Tracey's judgmental high school frenemy and current flower supplier, who uncovers the affair and breaks the news. Tracey's friends encourage her to prioritize herself while waiting for the divorce to be finalized, so she looks for a lover—and she's shocked when Brian volunteers, hoping to explore his long-held crush. Then Brian's ex-wife returns, claiming her child is his, and Tracey finds herself facing yet another scandal. Is her budding romance with Brian worth the risk? Williams ramps up the familial drama, adding tension to the heartwarming romance, and Brian's gentleness postdivorce is especially endearing. Series fans will be pleased.
