Her heart's looking for a forever home. All her life, Madeline Prix's loved Everett Berry, but she'd be a fool to think he'd ever notice her. She's nothing more than a big Southern girl with frizzy red hair. No way would the sunshine and perfect Ev look twice at her. To her surprise, fifteen years later, he appears in her city while she's in the middle of a kitten rescue. Madeline's dreams are about to come true when Ev asks her on a date until his ex enters the no-longer-rosy picture. Everett thought he could start his life anew after a messy divorce in a small Southern town. Maddy came into his world like a breath of fresh air, but he finds himself stumbling back into old patterns. Can he ever be good enough for someone as sweet as Madeline Prix? Madeline must choose between the man she's loved all her life who keeps breaking her heart and a man who's only good on paper. Good thing she has her adorable cats and best friend to help her out, because her heart may not be able to survive.
