Books by Cynthia Tennent

"The people of Truhart will find a place in your heart." -Cindy Myers, author of The View From Here Big dreams can come true in a small town...While some young women would jump through hoops to claim ownership of a bookshop, free-spirited Gertrude "Trudy" Brown wants nothing to do with the rundown store her late Aunt Gertrude left her. Having suffered from dyslexia all her life, books aren't exactly her friends. With not much more than a collie dog who's scared of his own shadow, and a rusty but trusty '74 Beetle, Trudy arrives in the tiny town of Truhart, determined to sell off her cumbersome inheritance as quickly as possible... But Trudy is not the only stranger in town. Christopher "Kit" Darlington, a professor of American Studies at Cambridge, is searching for an elusive manuscript-and he secretly thinks Trudy's ramshackle bookshop might hold the key to its discovery. As these two opposites spend the autumn days together, cleaning out Trudy's bookshop, they soon find that uncovering both literature and love can be equally mysterious... Trudy's never been the type to stay in one spot too long, but something about Kit makes her consider starting a new chapter-and maybe even finding there's a happily-ever-after...

Her therapist might call it "OCD," but she's just trying her best to live by the rules-until her carefully crafted world comes crashing down when she's fired, painfully jilted, and arrested for a crime she didn't commit. All she can think to do is flee to her grandmother's lakeside house in tiny Truhart, Michigan, a town that's as quirky as it is quaint . . . No stranger to second chances, Acting Sheriff JD Hardy isn't pleased to have Elizabeth in Truhart for the summer. A former city cop with a painful past, JD now runs a tight ship, and isn't keen on a newcomer with a criminal past, even one as tempting as Elizabeth. Between lazy summer days and lakeside evenings, reconnecting with old friends and making new ones, Elizabeth must decide what the future holds for her, and where her heart belongs. She will learn that sometimes you have to dip a toe in cautiously, and other times you just have to dive in . . .
