About this ebook
ORIANA isn't looking for love. Nope. All she needs is an apartment, a job, and maybe a little dash of hope. She's been to hell and back again, and Brightville, Kansas is her last chance at normal. She needs a place she can call her own. She needs a place that makes her feel alive.
DALE doesn't like change. There's a reason he runs the restaurant and tavern in the tiny Kansas town: it's routine. It's normal. Nothing particularly crazy or wild ever happens until his prized waitress runs off to get married just before the busiest weekend of the year.
When Oriana walks through the doors to Chasing Whiskey, Dale thinks he's found a solution to his staffing problem. Oriana would make the perfect waitress, but Dale has been around the block a few times, and he knows a lost soul when he sees one. She's scared, he realizes, and she's running from something.
Dale wants to step up and be the man that she needs, but is she brave enough to let him?
Chasing Whiskey is a sweet, small-town romance with a guaranteed HEA. Grab a copy and curl up with your favorite drink to find out what happens when fate meets destiny.
