Loving Scarlett by Kate Carley

Scarlett Valentina Hartman. With a name like that, she ought to love all things hearts and flowers, including that silly February holiday. But Valentine’s Day is her least favorite day of the year. It might be that she’s insanely busy with the Hartman Inn— the bed and breakfast she owns—or maybe it’s that she’s surrounded by hopeless romantics. Mostly Scarlett classifies herself as a realist about life. And about love—a topic she has zero time for with her beloved inn barely out of the red. Not even when a sexy plumber shows up in her kitchen to fix the leaky pipes.In town for his best friend’s wedding, Teague Jamison is a business consultant with laser sharp focus and a brain that never shuts down. His specialty is breathing life back into wilting companies, but discussing the specifics of his business—especially with women—has always backfired on him. When the lovely inn owner mistakes him for a plumber, his interest is piqued. When he truly gets to know the sweet-natured woman, he lowers his guard altogether and risks everything. Does Teague have what it takes to help Scarlett discover what true love really is?
