This is especially true of Annie – why should she care about the opinion of someone who tried to get her kicked out of the garden but keeps pretending that she’s innocent?When someone starts stealing plants from the garden, the two women are forced to work together to catch the thief. It seems like the worst idea in the world…until it isn’t.

But as it becomes clear that the thefts are part of a larger sabotage plot, they’ll have to decide how much trust to put in each other and what they’re willing to sacrifice to save the garden.

About
Hi there! My name is Chelsea Pennington, and I write romance stories that guarantee a happy ending but don’t shy away from the messy parts of life. If you like to read about flawed people finding each other and growing together (especially when they’re queer!), you’re in the right place!I grew up in Texas, but now live in Colorado with my husband and our dog, Pippin (yes, like the hobbit. Very food motivated). I’ve been writing and sharing stories for as long as I can remember, which led to me getting a degree in English/Creative Writing. I love exploring new places, sitting outside with an iced coffee and a good book, and taking pictures of flowers using portrait mode with my phone.I have a love/hate relationship with social media (don’t we all?) so the best way to stay up to date on what I’m writing as well as get book recs, writing advice, and thoughts on life in general, is to sign up for my newsletter Chelsea’s Story Cafe.Official bio
