Jill Came Tumbling
(2023)(A book in the Apple Valley Love Stories series)
A Novella by Julie Christianson
They say you should quit while you’re ahead. I just quit because I’m in love … with my boss.
My name is Jill, and I’m a professional restaurant server. I’m also the secret admirer of the head manager at The Clumsy Goat.
In my defense, Owen O’Dell wasn’t in charge when I got hired. He just happened to be the sweetest, handsomest, funniest, most est son of the owner.
But after the job took its toll on his dad’s heart—both literally and figuratively—Owen stepped up to the plate and took over. Now he won’t risk putting a wife and kids through the stress his mom and brothers felt.
That’s right. Owen just committed to bachelorhood now that I’m ready to confess my love.
I can’t stick around Apple Valley pining for a man who’s permanently off-limits, but Owen can’t let his dad think he’s failing because The Goat’s best server up and quit.
(That’s me. I’m the best server.)
Solution?
We pretend to be a couple so the no-dating policy is the reason I’m leaving.
Being Owen’s fake girlfriend probably won’t kill me.
Just don’t tell that to my heart.
Genre: Romance
