If you’re a fan of slow-burn,
enemies-to-lovers romances that explore timely issues but are big on humor, you’ll
enjoy WAIT FOR IT. Jenn’s newest is a warm and wonderful rom-com
that’s absolutely perfect for summer reading.
A woman looking for a new lease
on life moves to Arizona where she rents a guest house on a gorgeous property
with a mysterious owner—a man who teaches her about resilience, courage, and
ultimately true love, in this funny, bighearted novel about hope and healing
from New York Times bestselling author Jenn McKinlay.
Stuck in a dreary Boston winter, Annabelle Martin would like nothing more
than to run away from her current life. She's not even thirty years old,
twice-divorced, and has just dodged a marriage proposal… from her ex-husband.
When she’s offered her dream job as creative director at a cutting-edge graphic
design studio in Phoenix, she jumps at the opportunity to start over.
When she arrives in the Valley of the Sun, Annabelle is instantly intrigued by
her anonymous landlord. Based on the cranky, handwritten notes Nick Daire
leaves her, she assumes he is an old, rich curmudgeon. Annabelle is shocked
when she finally meets Nick and discovers that he’s her age and uses a
wheelchair. Nick suffered from a stroke a year ago, and while there's no
physical reason for him not to recover, he is struggling to overcome the
paralyzing fear that has kept him a prisoner in his own home.
Despite her promise to herself not to get involved, Annabelle finds herself
irresistibly drawn to Nick. And soon she wonders if she and Nick might help
each other find the courage to embrace life, happiness, and true love.
