A Bouquet of Spring Romance Reads

Dear Reader,

Spring is in the air! Allergies aside, this is such a happy and hopeful time of year for me. I love seeing the tiny leaf buds, almost more yellow than green—and the flowers! Oh, the flowers here in Washington are absolutely breathtaking. The Skagit Valley Tulip Festival happens every April. A reader named Sandie shared this picture on my Facebook page. Isn’t this stunning? (Thank you so much for sharing, Sandie.) Ten years ago, while attending the Tulip Festival, scenes exactly like this inspired me to write Secrets of the Tulip Sisters.

A captivating novel about the problem with secrets, the power of love, and the unbreakable bond between sisters from #1 New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery

Kelly Murphy isn't used to chaos. Her life as a tulip farmer is routine, after all—up at dawn, off to work, lather, rinse, repeat. But everything changes one sunwashed summer with two dramatic homecomings: Griffith Burnett—Tulpen Crossing’s prodigal son who’s set his sights on Kelly, and her beautiful, wayward and, as far as Kelly is concerned, unwelcome sister. Tempted by Griffith, annoyed by Olivia, Kelly is overwhelmed by the secrets that were so easy to keep when she was alone.

But Olivia's return isn't as triumphant as she pretends. Her job has no future and, ever since her dad sent her away from the bad boy she loved, she has felt cut off from her past. She's determined to reclaim her man and her place in the family…whether her sister likes it or not. For ten years, she and Kelly have been strangers. Olivia will get by without her approval now.

While Kelly and Olivia butt heads, their secrets tumble out in a big, hot mess, revealing some truths that will change everything they thought they knew. Can they forgive each other—and themselves—and redefine what it means to be sisters?

The Tulip Sisters are in for the most colorful summer of their lives . . .
