Blue Dahlia

Stella and her two young sons move to Tennessee , where Stella was raised, so she can start a new job as manager of a quaint nursery called In the Garden. The owner, Roz, lets Stella and her sons live in her large home, which is haunted by a ghost with old ties to the estate. Stella loves her job but soon butts heads with sexy, infuriating landscaper Logan Kettridge. They at first resist their attraction, but their eventual involvement earns the disapproval of the estate’s ghost. This book has something for all romance readers: wit, mystery, friendship, and a great love story. Enjoy!

Update: If you liked Blue Dahlia, try the newest book in the In the Garden trilogy, Black Rose!
