Martini Mondays: Book 1 in the Palm Springs Poolside Series | J. L. Brannick
When Laurel Payne graduates from law school she is dead broke and unemployed, her father disowns her, and her beloved aunt just died. So she flees to the only place she's ever found acceptance and love. Her aunt's enchanting midcentury modern home in the heart of Palm Springs is the place where Laurel healed as a child. There she found solace and comfort, and she hopes she can find it again. But at her Aunt Fern's funeral she meets Sebastian, her aunt's business partner and friend, and discovers he has the personality of a rabid porcupine. She's just grateful she'll never see the beautiful but highly disagreeable man ever again. Fate, circumstance, and her aunt's will have other ideas.
