Act Your Age, Eve Brown

By Talia Hibbert

Of the three Brown sisters, Eve is considered the least reliable. She's never been able to get her act together, and now her parents are threatening to cut her off if she doesn't get a job and stick with it. Somehow, she ends up at the B&B of Jacob Wayne, a control freak who needs a new chef. Eve interviews for it, fails instantly, then hits him with her car. Accidentally. Sort-of.

With a broken arm and in desperate need of staff, Jacob is forced to let Eve stay and run his life. They're total opposites. It shouldn't work. But Eve is tough to resist and soon the thaw between them begins to melt. Maybe opposites can make perfect bedfellows.
