About this ebook

Some people have all the luck alright, but so far, Seren's has all been bad.

Seren Colburn's had nothing but bad luck her entire life, so she's not surprised when Dave, a possible buyer for her family mansion, mistakes her for a vagrant squatting in the unfurnished home. If she wasn't about to lose her movie-star grandmother's house to the bank, she wouldn't even be selling it.

But after he realizes Seren's the owner, Dave has an idea.

He suggests they work together to turn the mansion into an inn, capitalizing on her grandmother's graceful and timeless image. Seren really doesn't want to, but she's out of options. Dave quickly realizes he wants her as more than just a business partner, but can he convince Seren that her luck's about to change. . .if only she'll take a chance on him?

Publisher's Weekly said that Seed Money's plot is, "heartwarming and humorous, though protagonist Seren's personal life is filled with tragedy." They also said that, "the prose is engaging and easy to read. [Seed Money] is [a] familiar, charming, and comfortable read."

This is book one of a series built around Seren and Dave, their child fostering, friends and family, set in Scarsdale. Start here to get a good foundation, as well as a sweet meet-cute. Seren does NOT have it all together after serious family tragedy and is absolutely NOT dating anyone. So you know how that is going to go! She truly has a heart of gold and you get to see her shine through her struggles to come back to herself from the depths of depression and hopelessness.

I adored both of these main characters and watching their progression as people and partners. Some of my favorite parts: the pain and healing that the lead female goes through (it's so real, and evokes all the feelings!), what the caseworker said at the final home visit (as a foster mom, this also made me cry), and the beautiful relationship between father and son. It's such a lovely story that sets up a great series to follow!
