A pharmacist thrown into an apothecary of magical herbs--what could possibly go wrong?
Eden Noyes hasn't been back to Massachusetts since college. Not only does her ex, celebrity motivation speaker Carter Hughes live there, but strange things—things she can’t explain—always seem to happen in Hawthorne. Not to mention the big secret she's been protecting.
Not that Carter wants to see her, either. Eden blindsided him when she left, and he's not about to let her mess with his heart again—even if Grandma Tansy insists it's their destiny to end up together.
Researching the plants and natural remedies was challenging, but I had a lot of help. Almost every time I've had a booth at a craft fair, I've ended up next to someone selling soaps and lotions they've made with plant extracts, and they're always willing to help educate.
On the pharmacist side, my own brother was a professional resource. It was fun to see how these two schools of thought sometimes oppose and sometimes complement each other.
While You Were Speaking takes place before Dash of Destiny and has Carter Hughes and his family as significant side characters. (His brother, Zachary, is the main character.)
