A warm, feel-good, enemies-to-lovers, lesbian romance about chasing your dreams-wherever they might lead. Powerful venture capitalist Claire Pressley is done with stressful New York and has set her sights on a "treechange"- renovating a homestead in Eagle Cove, Oregon to make a gorgeous guesthouse. Her plan isn't quite so simple when it turns out Eagle Cove's beloved town librarian Ruby Jordan had been saving to buy the homestead herself. Worse, Ruby had some grand, beautiful dream to turn it into an animal shelter. Claire couldn't look more like a villain in her new town if she tried. Now she has to find a way to make peace with the locals, as Ruby furiously works out a Plan B for her animal shelter. But even as the hot-headed women keep clashing, it's hard not to notice their sizzling chemistry, and how attractive they find each other. It seems unlikely they'll even manage to be friends at this rate. And being more than friends...that would be just ridiculous! Right?

A.L. Brooks was born in the UK but currently resides in Frankfurt, Germany, and over the years she has lived in places as far afield as Aberdeen and Australia. She works 9-5 in corporate financial systems and her dream is to take early retirement. Like, tomorrow, please. Travelling around the world and reading lots and lots (and lots) of books are also things that fight for time with her writing. Yep, she really needs that early retirement.
