Description de l’éditeur
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Sherryl Woods, don't miss the Sweet Magnolias series that inspired the hit Netflix show!
Determined to build a new life for her family after her divorce, Adelia Hernandez has bought a home in the historic Swan Point neighborhood of Serenity. Promoted to manager of Main Street’s most fashionable boutique, she feels revitalized and ready for a fresh start as a single mom. But barely into this new independent phase, she crosses paths with the sexiest man to hit Serenity in years.
Gabe Franklin, back in town to make amends for past mistakes, has no intention of settling down, but Adelia’s proving irresistible. Cheered on by their friends “the Sweet Magnolias,” Gabe is bringing long-absent passion and laughter into Adelia’s life. To his surprise—and hers—sometimes a rolling stone is just what it takes to build the rock-solid foundation of a family.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The 11th Sweet Magnolia story (after Where Azaleas Bloom) stars Adelia Hernandez, who has to build a new life for herself and her four children after she leaves her neglectful, unfaithful husband. That means going back to work for the first time since she married, buying a new home in Serenity, S.C., and trying to quash her feelings for Gabe Franklin, a former town miscreant now working for his cousin's renovation business. While Gabe and Adelia try to avoid rushing into a romance, the local gossips keep nudging them, and domestic life with Adelia's children holds promising allure for them both. But if they don't step up to fight for their relationship, Adelia's ex-husband just might step in to thwart it. Despite a cardboard setting that never feels particularly Southern and a Latina heroine whose life is almost entirely devoid of her ostensible heritage, this is a decent addition to a well established series.
