One Hundred Excuses - Kelly Collins

She's a flower ready to bloom.

He's the sun she needs to survive?

Will a weed from Marina's past threaten to choke out what they've cultivated together?

Marina Caswell finds herself broken and alone with a four-year-old daughter. She could offer a hundred excuses for why her marriage failed, but the truth is she'd chosen poorly. After a painful marriage and an ugly divorce, she flees with her little girl to Aspen Cove looking for a place to heal their wounded spirits and mend their shattered hearts.

What she finds in the quirky little town is Sheriff Cooper, a man who insists that things like trust, love, and respect are grown like the plants in a garden. All her heart needs is attention and care, something Marina has never experienced.

Sheriff Aiden Cooper recognizes trouble at a glance. It usually looks pretty, smells nice, and wears heels. After his last relationship failure, Aiden doesn't expect love to bloom when single mom Marina Caswell plants roots next door, but when he sees the sadness in her eyes, he makes it his mission to sow seeds of hope and happiness in her soul.
