The Little Tea Room on River Road

A BRAND NEW sweet feel-good frenemies to lovers adventure, a Wally Creek novel What happens when love doesn't go according to plan? Sage Dawson loves her job as a cruise director or did. When her current guy (Shipmate, Gordan Simen) turns out to have feet of clay, a broken heart takes her back to Wally Creek and the comfort of her grandparents' loving support. What she gets instead is the house she grew up in as they take off for a new life in Arizona, four seventy-something tenants who have a plan of their own for her future, and Luke Marshell, a sleek, polished, uncompromising businessman who, for some reason she can't fathom, is convinced she's after his great-uncle's retirement fund. Under other circumstances, Luke would be a girl's dream guy, but not Sage's.
The man is an uncompromising workaholic and not user-friendly. The only thing worse than being pulled under by a sneaker wave was standing by doing nothing while her heart made another disastrous mistake. What readers are saying about Susan Lute novels: "Dripping with charm, drowning in heart, from deeply moving to vastly entertaining, Lute gives the heart something to think about." - Isha C., Hopeless Romantic "Susan's fifth book in her Angel Point series was fantastic! This story has everything from the cosy small town vibe to intelligent, tweens determined to get their way and two people determined not to fall in love but find themselves falling hard and discovering that what they're looking for is right in front of them." - Sara, Goodreads "Susan Lute is a beautiful keeper of the human heart.
She explores the soul and leaves the reader certain life is worth the journey." - Wendy Warren, Two-Time RITA winner and National Bestselling author
