Wild Ginger in the Rhubarb

The rules for ex-undercover cops are clear: No girlfriend, no sex, no snuggles-too risky for everyone concerned. After a year of spying on gangsters, tough Charlie couldn't agree more. She doesn't want a girlfriend or a relationship; she only needs power tools and a job in her brother's bike shop. Still, it's difficult to leave the past behind. Charlie feels bad about betraying the gangster's trust.
Guilt comes with the job. So what? When a gorgeous gin artist becomes a neighbour, wanting to help is natural. Fix the fridge-yeah. Sexual attraction? Nope. Girlfriend? Double nope. All that matters is following the rules: No girlfriend, no sex, no sharing. Repeat. Rose loves summer flowers, gin, pretty clothes, and butch lesbians. Owning a cocktail shop is a dream come true, even if the responsibility is tricky for one person to bear.
If only she had friends and family! A caring friend would be extremely welcome to fix the fridge and put up the shelves. It's strange how Charlie smells of wild ginger and Rose of sweet rhubarb, like an award-winning gin. Rose has secrets, too, about the past. She doesn't intend to cuddle up with Charlie. It's just that the heart wants what the heart wants. Repeat, repeat, repeat. One thing is certain.
When wild ginger gets in the rhubarb, nothing can stop it.
