THERE’S NOTHING LIKE THE REAL THING
After dropping
out of pastry school and messing up her big break on a reality cooking show,
Leah Sullivan needs to accomplish something in her life. But when she returns
home to Lucky Harbor, she finds herself distracted by her best friend Jack
Harper. In an effort to cheer up Jack’s ailing mother, Dee, Leah tells a little
fib—that she and Jack are more than just friends. Soon pretending to be
hot-and-heavy with this hunky firefighter feels too real to handle . . .
No-strings attachments suit Jack just fine—perfect for keeping the risk
of heartbreak away. But as Jack and Leah break every one of their “just
friends” rules, he longs to turn their pretend relationship into something
permanent. Do best friends know too much
about each other to risk falling in love? Or will Jack and Leah discover
something new about each other in a little town called Lucky Harbor?

CLOVER: How often do you get lost in a story?
JILL: every day.
:)
CLOVER: What will
always make you smile, even on a bad day?
JILL: Life in general. Gotta laugh, or what's the point?
CLOVER: You write about a glorious day of the life of a romance
writer on your blog, which I thought was so funny and could really relate to.
Is that about how most of your days go?
JILL: Yes, some things never change...
CLOVER: What is your
favorite tradition from your childhood that you would love to pass on to your
children?
JILL: READING!
CLOVER: I’m with you on that. I
think reading for pleasure activates brain cells in other areas too.
CLOVER: What would
you say is your most interesting quirk?
JILL: Um, that I'm I Love Lucy
reincarnated?
CLOVER: Oh no, she gets herself
in all kinds of trouble.
CLOVER: If you were given a chance to travel anywhere in the
world and money was no object, where would you go?
JILL: A deserted island with all the food I can eat and
a charged Kindle.
CLOVER’S GOTTA ASK: What’s the first thing you do
when you finish writing a book?
JILL’S GOTTA ANSWER: NAP, for like
four days. :) Then, eat as many cookies as I can, walk with
my dogs, reacquaint myself with the teenagers and husband… Then start the process all over again… :)
