Description
The lake is crystal blue, the hills roll for miles, and breaking news travels via the Methodist prayer chain. But don’t let the postcard fool you. Coldwater Cove, Oklahoma, leavens its small-town charm with plenty of Ozark snark.
For Lacy Evans, returning to flyover country is the definition of failure. She had everything she wanted—an award-winning design firm, a chic city condo, a handsome, aristocratic almost-fiancé. Then her boyfriend ran off with her receptionist and her clients' money. Now she’s out of business and crashing on her parents’ couch. When she slides into a booth at the Green Apple Grill, she's feeling lower than a worm's belly.
But Lacy’s old classmate Jacob Tyler is happy to see her. Coldwater’s football hero came back from Afghanistan short part of a leg and some peace of mind, but he’s counting his blessings, and Lacy could be one of them. Then there’s her ex, Daniel, wearing a sheriff’s badge and a wedding ring, but looking like young summer love. And a host of unlikely serendipities: the selfless do-gooders who sneak around taming curmudgeons and constructing second chances. The Fighting Marmots. The sprawling, take-no-prisoners Bugtussle clan.
Lacy thought she knew her hometown, and herself. She just wanted to get on her feet and keep running. But the longer she stays, the more she finds to change her mind. . .
“Readers of sweet romance will fall in love with Coldwater Cove. Lexi Eddings’s talent shines in this edgy, fresh story.” —Kristan Higgins, New York Times bestselling author
A Note From the Publisher
First in a Brand New Series!
Advance Praise
“[A] strong debut….The heart-tugging scenes, stellar characters, captivating secondary storylines, and small-town charisma will whet readers’ appetites for a return visit to Coldwater.” - Publishers Weekly
“This story will tug at your heart as a maligned heroine comes back under a cloud of suspicion and a damaged war hero helps her find a new happy ending. The slower pace of life in Coldwater Cove allows the characters a chance for deeper introspection and the author doesn’t shy away from tackling tough subjects such as PTSD, domestic violence, and addiction. The dialogue is fluid and realistic and the relationships evolve nicely. There is no dramatic conclusion, but rather the resolutions of smaller external and internal conflicts that define our everyday lives and highlight the magic in the actions of ordinary people.”- RT Book Reviews, 4 Stars
“The quirky characters, a minor mystery, and the down-home feel in the first installment in Eddings’ Coldwater series will delight readers looking for a sweet small-town romance.”– Booklist
“A charming story with a quaint, small-town setting…The Coldwater Warm Hearts Club is sure to appeal to fans of Debbie Macomber or Susan Wiggs…Lexi Eddings has created a gentle little town with a cast of wacky and entertaining characters…The perfect read of a quiet afternoon.”– Shelf Awareness STARRED REVIEW
