Love Finds a Home Series by Jerri Corgiat

Lilac O'Malley Ryan doesn't even recognize country music star Jonathan Van Castle when he bursts into her store. And she's bewildered by what seem like tongue-tied attempts at charm. She just wants to make a sale-and get him out the door. But it turns out to be a lot harder getting that to-die-for smile out of her mind... And once they put their rocky start behind them, Jon and Lil will discover what happens when two unlikely lovers hit the perfect note...

In Jerri Corgiat's second heartwarming novel of small-town romance, she makes love the special of the day... Flipping eggs at the local diner is not where Alcea O'Malley Addams expected to wind up. But a divorce from her cheating husband wiped out her bank account and her self-esteem. To make matters worse, she accidentally runs her former high-school crush off the road-and straight into her heart.

The youngest daughter of the O’Malley clan, Marigold (Mari), returns to Cordelia, Missouri after her big city career took a lurch in the wrong direction, propelled by an affair with a married man. At home, she is enlisted by her sisters to take care of their mother, recovering from a heart attack and subsequent surgery. Mari’s heart needs mending, too, though, and the tonic she finds is strong medicine--a relationship with a “bad boy” childhood friend.
