About the Book:
A small Georgia town, a broken heart, and an old flame—Brenda Jackson serves up a sexy, dramatic reunion story in this latest novel set in Catalina Cove.

When LaVinia “Vinnie” Middleworth’s world shatters, she finds herself back in her hometown of Catalina Cove, the place she thought she’d left behind for good. What she doesn’t expect is to come face-to-face with her ex, Gabriel Franklin—the man she never stopped loving.

But things have changed. Vinnie is determined to rebuild her life on her own terms, and Gabriel has secrets of his own. When circumstances force them together, the sparks they once shared quickly reignite, and long-buried truths begin to surface.

As Vinnie reconnects with her roots and the people who once made her feel at home, she learns that sometimes healing starts right where your heart was broken—and that the best stories always start with a little spilled tea.
