Everyone wants to ship Mabel and Zane. What no one knows? They’ve already tried it once before, and it ended in disaster. Zane is the fire-fighting, meat and potatoes, good-hearted man of nursing student Mabel’s dreams. Except a long time ago, she kissed him, only to be rejected so quickly it left her head spinning and her heart broken. They’ve been in the same friend group all this time, just out of reach. None of the friends ever even knew about the ill-fated kiss. And lately? It’s felt less and less like Mabel and Zane are friends at all. Despite the group’s matchmaking attempts, it’s beginning to feel like they’re enemies. She thought he’d never been interested in her that way, which is why his confession at their friends’ wedding has Mabel baffled. And then his distance afterwards? It’s enough for Mabel to run for the hills and call it quits for good. But when they’re asked to work on a project to obtain funding for their beloved town’s water tower, they begrudgingly agree. And despite both of them needing to move on, they find themselves learning more about each other’s wounds and wanting to open up their hearts once more. Will the hurt from their muddy past prove impossible to set aside? Or will Zane’s years’ long, arms’ length protection of her be enough to prove his love? Pick up this funny, heart-warming, uplifting conclusion to the Silver Plum series today!

Join Deb's newsletter to get the book, Love in Reality, part of the Silver Plum series, totally FREE! https://debgoodmanwrites.com Deb Goodman’s obsession with the written word started at age three, when she realized the old-timey newsprint wallpaper in her family’s bathroom had actual words on it. The only problem? By the time she learned to read a couple of years later, the wallpaper had been replaced with something else—boring, non-worded wallpaper—and to this day, she still doesn’t know what it said. Now, she and her husband and four children live in Utah. They love sports, music, and doing slightly insulting, pretend voices for their little shorkie, Mavis. Deb writes funny, small-town romance that you won’t need to shield your kids’ eyes from. Billionaires, friends-to-more, enemies-to-more, cowboys, fake relationships…there’s something for everyone here! Writing lovey dovey books comes naturally to Deb since, to her, there’s nothing better than reading and writing about how two people fall in love.
