It's springtime in Corsair's Cove, when trees bloom, tourists arrive and spirits get lively.

But for Betsy Lund of Three Sheets Fabric Shop, this year it's not a happy season. She misses her beloved business partner. Someone – or something– is using her quilting machines when she's not around. And she can hardly get out of her own yard because her hedge is growing weirdly fast; she's wearing out hedgetrimmers at an uncanny rate.

Orchardist Stan Redfern would love to do more than sharpen Betsy's blades but his shy invitations are getting him nowhere. 

Betsy isn't even sure that romance is what Stan's offering; her mojo eloped so long ago she can't remember what it looked like.

When her hedgetrimmer gives up the ghost, she's literally stuck, and Betsy has no illusions, or desire, that Prince Charming is going to ride up and save her.

What's a self-rescuing middle-aged princess to do?

About the author

Rachel Goldsworthy

Rachel Goldsworthy grew up on the West Coast, sitting quietly in the kitchen of one aunt or another and nibbling homemade Nanaimo bars while the relations told tales. Some were factual, and some were true. When the time came to earn a living, Rachel took those listening (and eating) skills, and wrote for magazines and newspapers stories of the people and places of the coast. 

Now she’s writing the adventures of people she’s crazy about in Corsair’s Cove where love and family, like the tide, might ebb and flow, but chocolate is eternal. Every word is true.
