Where You're Planted
by Melanie Sweeney
Single mom Tansy Perkins only has room in her life for her daughter and her library. But after a catastrophic hurricane severely damages her library, she's forced to temporarily move her branch into the adjacent county botanic gardens, where Jack Reid, the world's grouchiest gardener who rescued her and her daughter from the flood, happens to be the assistant director. Jack has always preferred plants over people, having built a strong track record of avoiding relationships ever since his divorce six years ago. So, Tansy and her quirky band of bookish colleagues' encroachment into his carefully-kept territory is a little more than irksome. When Jack and Tansy are tasked with working together on the spring festival, their newfound professional partnership gives way to a deep intimacy that they've both been silently craving. But Tansy has lost too much to risk her heart, and Jack has sworn off real love. When an opportunity arises for funding that both the library and gardens need, will their loyalties lie with the futures they'd always planned for, or the new spark they've found with each other?
