Silver Linings by Kaylee Baldwin
Drew Westfall wants nothing more than to forget what he had to do in the name of "smart" business. Cutting off all ties with his parents—including handing over the entire contents of his trust fund to a charity—he takes off for Bridger, Colorado where his best friend has an extra room for him. It doesn't take long for him to realize that his business degree won’t do him much good in a town as small as Bridger, but he's broke and has nowhere else to go.
Eden Torresi has every reason to wallow. Not only did she have to sell her house to pay for her mother’s medical expenses, but she also had to drop out of school and is in a relationship with a guy unwilling to commit. But Eden isn't the wallowing type. Instead, she chooses to spend most of her time taking care of the seniors at Silver Linings Assisted Living. When she learns that her boyfriend's new roommate is down on his luck, her caring nature makes her want to reach out to him and offer what help she can. But the more time they spend together, the more complicated things get, especially when the seniors of Silver Linings decide to play matchmaker.
Excerpt
“It’s almost eight
on a Friday night. Why are you still here?” Maud asked with her usual
abruptness.
Eden wouldn’t meet
her eyes. “I had a few things I needed to get done.”
Maud snorted.
“You’re hanging out with the octogenarian crowd after clocking out.” She placed
a hand on Eden’s arm. “It’s pathetic, dear.”
Wanda elbowed
Maud. “It’s not that you’re pathetic,
but you should be out with that young hunk of yours instead of hanging out with
us.”
Eden sighed. Her
social life—or lack thereof—was one of the things Wanda and Maud loved to
analyze and discuss. Whether Eden wanted their input or not.
“You need to make
time for him,” Maud said. “And he needs to romance you.”
“Sweep you off
your feet,” Wanda said.
“She’s right.
There’s been absolutely no feet-sweeping.”
“No swooning.”
“No passion,” Mrs.
Kipper called from the corner, still holding her romance novel. “Is it too much
to ask for a little passion?”
Eden’s
face grew warm as the entire room—with the exception of Mr. Wilmot, who
wouldn’t be distracted from a puzzle even if the whole room were filled with
passionate couples—stared at her.
“We’re not teenagers,” she defended.
And she didn’t need passion. She needed someone to pass the time with on the
weekends. A reason to go to her old house. A friend.
