In this spirited romance, Avery learns that sometimes the one thing you're searching for has a way of finding you. Excerpt: Riley Donovan had seen insanity before but it had never come in such an adorable package. He watched from his back porch as the woman next door swatted at gnats with a gloved hand. At first, he'd thought she was just fussing at the annoying little insects that were hovering around her face. Then, he'd seen her turn towards a seemingly invisible person and actually carry on a conversation. He took small sips out of his glass of iced tea and watched her closely. Her small frame was crouched down on the ground as she tended to her flower bed and her long golden hair was pulled back from her face. Even from this distance, he could make out the particularly appealing shape of her nose and lips. She had a petite little frame but the attitude with which she spoke seemed to make her much larger. He shook his head as a grin began to form on his own lips. He was getting a crush on the new neighbor and she was talking to thin air.
