Refining Josie

What'll it take for the prodigal daughter to share her deepest secrets… and her heart?

Josephine Green returns to the islands in an attempt to reconcile with her family, but with a cloud over the family business, and little in the way of gardening skills, Josie's painful past and flaky ways prove less than endearing for Greener Gardens' hardworking crew.

Stuck without any other options, Josie is forced to accept her sister's offer of a job that takes her to Breakers Head where she encounters Aussie teacher, Lachlan Jones.

A long-lost relative might've brought Lachie to a tiny music recording studio on the Independence Islands, but it's also brought questions about how to care for someone he barely knows, especially considering he's the last family she has. Questions regarding his future soon pale when he encounters the vibrant-haired Josie, whose sass and attitude takes some getting used to.

Neither imagined more until they began to bond over music and environmental causes, and both discover that first impressions need not be lasting ones.

But with the future of Greener Gardens looking shaky, and Josie's faith and self-worth just as tenuous, can deepening a friendship into something more ever work? And what happens when Lachlan's work means he has to return to Australia after Christmas? What will it take for two hearts to heal and make a future possible?

Refining Josie is the fifth and final book of the Greener Gardens romance series, where true love grows.
