When a damaged young woman is given a chance to reclaim her life in a small South Carolina town, she must reckon with the dark secrets she left behind in order to accept the love she deserves.
On the run from a violent past, Leah Allen arrived in tiny Rivertown, South Carolina, battered and broken, but ready to reinvent herself. By a stroke of fate, Leah is drawn to the Southern hospitality of a small café, looking for a warm meal but finding so much more. Lulu, the owner, offers her a job, a place to stay and a new lease on life. Through Lulu's tenacious warmth and generosity, Leah quickly finds herself embraced by the quaint community as she tries to put herself back together. Given she's accustomed to cruelty, the kindness is overwhelming.
Soon Leah meets Crowley Mason, the most eligible bachelor in town. A lawyer and friend of Lulu's, Crowley is wary of Leah's sudden, mysterious arrival. Despite his reserve, something sparks between them that can't be denied. But after all she's been through, can Leah allow herself to truly love and be loved, especially when her first urge is to run?
Exploring the resiliency of both the heart and the spirit, Lulu's Café gorgeously illustrates how old scars can finally heal no matter how deep they seem.
"Storms show up and there ain't a thing we can do to stop them."
Sonny Bates left South Carolina fifteen years ago and never looked
back. Now she's a successful Hollywood location scout who travels
the world, finding perfect places for movie shoots. Home is
wherever she lands, and between her busy schedule and dealing with
her boss's demands, she has little time to think about the past . .
. until her latest gig lands her a stone's throw from everything
she left behind. Searching off the coast of Charleston for a
secluded site to film a key scene, Sonny wanders onto a private
barrier island and encounters its reclusive owner, known by locals
as the Monster of Indigo Isle. What she finds is a man much more
complex than the myth. Once a successful New York attorney, Hudson
Renfrow's grief has exiled him to his island for several years. He
spends his days alone, tending his fields of indigo, then making
indigo dye--and he has no interest in serving the intrusive needs
of a film company or yielding to Sonny's determined curiosity. But
when a hurricane makes landfall on the Carolina coast, stranding
them together, an unlikely friendship forms between the two damaged
souls. Soon the gruff exterior Hudson has long hidden behind
crumbles--exposing the tender part of him that's desperate for
forgiveness and a second chance. A story of hanging on and letting
go, of redemption and reconciliation, and of a love that heals the
deepest wounds, from the author of the breakout Southern fiction
bestseller Under the Magnolias. This book offers these extra
helpful and fun features: Discussion questions--we've got you
covered for book club! Recipes A playlist inspired by Sonny and
Hudson's love story
