Bea Mine

Print copies of this small-town romance include a free short prequel, 'Bless Your Heart,' so the package holds two stories. The main story follows Bea, a quirky baker in Adele, Georgia.

Bea has been secretly drawn to George for most of her life, ever since she first saw him at seven years old, walking off a soccer field beside her best friend, Daphne. George is Daphne's older brother, which makes him off-limits in Bea's mind, and his Southern charm has never been easy for her to ignore, no matter how hard she tries. After all these years, George is determined to make her see him differently. He will go to great lengths to do it, including spending a chaotic Valentine's Day stuck with her in a bakery delivery van. Two stubborn Southerners who refuse to agree on anything make for plenty of romantic tension, and a misstep could give Adele something new to talk about.

Readers who enjoy small-town romance will find a slow move from friendship to romance, a cast of offbeat townspeople, and a clean love story set in the South. The book is part of a sweet series. It was previously published under the pen name K. A. Gandy.
