Under the Ginkgo Tree

by Sara Orwig

When Sandy Smith's ginkgo trees wilted for the third time, nursery owner Gabe London just had to investigate. And when he met the lovely manager of the Casa Grande Retirement Center, he guessed who the culprit was: his younger brother Pete, who wouldn't stop mooning over Sandy. To unravel the mystery for certain, Gabe decided on detective work after dark -- only to be surprised by an elderly lady with a mean left...and then a vision of Sandy in a nightgown he'd never forget! After that night, the ginkgo trees thrived, but so did Pete's tireless crush -- a situation Gabe thought called for a tricky charade. If he and Sandy pretended a passionate affair, Pete would have to give up...wouldn't he? Only what began as a clever deception felt impossibly, wildly true...

I didn't know this was a romance novel until now. I liked the story, set in Japan. Visions of the countryside in Japan were beautiful to me.
