Young and beautiful Ruthie, the retirement villa’s manager, is an old soul looking for a man who wants to snuggle up on the couch and watch her favorite shows. Despite her coworker’s pleas to set her up, Ruthie’s demanding job and trauma over her previous relationship make her reluctant to seek out love. When the CEO of the company that has acquired the retirement community coerces his carefree son, Teddy, to work for Ruthie while living on the property, she finds that maybe love is just next door.
This fun and quirky romance between two unlikely people is a lot of fun to read. Complete with a cast of characters that deserve their own book, Second First Impressions will have you laughing and rooting for Ruthie and Teddy the whole way through.
