Tender yearnings

by Elaine Raco Chase

Abigail Wetherby, prickly proprietress of the Cove Bookshop in Camden Cove, Virginia, had finally met her match - the only man who could crack her brittle veneer. Nick Maxwell, to whom she had said "No credit," had thawed her frozen assets and set fire to the woman beneath. How could she know that this stranger whom she'd come to trust completely had not told her the truth about himself? Elaine Raco Chase is an award-winning author of a dozen contemporary romances, a mystery series, and a nonfiction mystery writers guide. She has more than three million books in print and is published in 25 countries and in 17 languages.
