Synopsis
After her marriage collapses, 42-year-old Lucy runs away from her life in the big city, seeking a fresh start in a small town in Massachusetts. When she stumbles into a cozy diner, she immediately feels at home. But when she finds out it's on the verge of shutting down, she makes an impulsive decision to do whatever she can to save it. She never expected the head chef, Noah, to be so grumpy... yet so irresistible, and so clearly off-limits. He's as opinionated as they get, and completely convinced she has no business being there. The feeling is almost mutual. As they clash over everything from the menu to the opening hours, Lucy starts to suspect that the man who irritates her most is the one she can't stop thinking about. She has put her money, her fresh start, and her heart into this diner. Falling for the wrong person could cost her all three. The Corner Booth is clean, cozy, and completely addictive. This is Book 1 of 6 in the Diner on Main Street Series.
