Playing House Amalia Theresa

When you bet on love, the house always wins.
All Violet has ever wanted is to run her family's barbecue restaurant, the locally famous Fowler's. Now, with her parents away on a long overdue vacation, and her brother living his own dreams elsewhere, it's time to prove she has what it takes to keep her family's legacy alive. But left alone with her fears of failure, she might be starting to buckle under the pressure.
When Abraham O'Sullivan lands at Fowler's on his way back home, his dreams of playing professional hockey shattered by injury, a driven, delightful, and all grown-up Violet makes him an offer he can't refuse: instead of the move back in with his parents and the I told you so he's dreading, he can house-sit with her while he figures out his next step-staring down a post-hockey future that's arrived well before he'd formed any kind of plan.
Once she starts playing house with Sex-God O'Sullivan, it doesn't take long before the overstressed Violet's focus fractures. With Abe, for the first time ever, she's found something she wants as much as Fowler's, and those mutual feelings are a threat to everything they've both worked toward with single-minded drive.
They'll each have to decide if being together is worth giving up the greatest loves of their lives.
