Harly Hart begins the Love Takes Two Series with a sweet, closed-door small-town second-chance romance about old feelings, old grudges, and what happens when the person you never quite got over moves back in next door.
Please note: Picket Fences and Petty Wars is a complete standalone romance and the first book in the Love Takes Two Series. Each book will feature a different couple, a different setting, and its own happily ever after, so the series can be read in any order.
Adrienne Cook knows exactly where to plant her first petunia.
Right where Cole Sage is going to hate it most.
Cole is back in Rosebud after years away, living next door again and acting as if the strip of ground between their properties is his to manage. Unfortunately for him, Adrienne has flowers, a trowel, and years of unresolved resentment.
Once, they were childhood best friends. Then came a first kiss neither of them handled well, a beloved treehouse that disappeared, years of silence, and enough hurt and misunderstanding to make staying apart seem easier than dealing with what went wrong.
Until Cole comes home.
A row of defiant petunias turns into a property-line war. Cole retaliates with the world's creepiest garden gnome. And when Rosebud's most determined meddler catches them in the middle of their latest skirmish, Adrienne and Cole find themselves sentenced to working side by side in the community garden.
The problem?
Cole still remembers exactly how to get under Adrienne's skin.
He also remembers everything else.
As garden work, town gossip, festival preparations, flowers, honey, and far too much forced proximity begin wearing down their defenses, Adrienne starts to question the story she has told herself about Cole for years.
Because some grudges are easier to hold onto than the truth.
And the patch of ground they have spent so long fighting over may be the very place where they finally get a second chance.
