Carrie Aarons just revealed the cover for Bittersweet, the first book in her next series! This is a star-crossed novel about neighbors who have to play nice when he realizes she’s selling the land joining their properties that his family has fought to claim for decades. It’s a small town, enemies-to-lovers romance, and I’m so excited to dive into my ARC — so stay tuned for my review, coming soon!
You can pre-order the book now — it releases on July 7 and will be free in Kindle Unlimited.
Read the synopsis below!
What is Bittersweet by Carrie Aarons about?
The last place Cassandra Mauer ever thought she’d step foot again was Hope Crest, Pennsylvania. But once the world famous actress gets the call that her estranged father has passed, and his only living relative will need to settle his estate, she finds herself back in the small town that sent her running once upon a time.
Little do her dilapidated childhood home and her father’s affairs know, Cassandra was in need of a project exactly like this to distract from the glamorous life she no longer wants or recognizes. That is, until she bumps into the man whose family is considered Main Street royalty.
Patrick Ashton is the boy next door, a Hope Crest celebrity, and one of the heirs to the most famous restaurants on the East Coast. He has no problem reminding her just how much the town hated her old man … and in turn her for sharing his last name. But when he realizes she’s going to sell the land their two families have fought over for decades, Patrick might have to change his tune.
As he begins scheming to charm the woman the entire country wants to be or be with, she can’t deny the spark of chemistry between them still exists after all these years. The one that simmered in the shared woods behind their homes where no one else could see.
And when the danger that sent her fleeing as a teenager returns to seek revenge, she finds Patrick genuinely in her corner, despite his family’s objections. In the place she swore never to return, she might have just found the love and life she was searching for.
Except old wounds and unsettled scores might not let her keep it.
