Love In Common
Tessa Lin has her future planned down to the minute.
Top grades. Top college. A life built on discipline, ambition, and never making mistakes.
Then she's assigned to a forgotten community garden with the last person she would ever choose as a partner.
Jude Mercer.
A sarcastic slacker with dirt under his fingernails, a reputation for trouble, and a smile that gets under her skin faster than she wants to admit.
What begins as a volunteer project becomes something neither of them expected.
Long afternoons in the sun.
Shared secrets among the flowers.
Arguments that turn into laughter.
And stolen moments that leave them wanting more.
But small towns have long memories, and people are quick to judge what they don't understand. As pressure mounts from friends, family, and the futures they've spent years building, Tessa and Jude must decide whether what they're growing together is worth fighting for.
Sweet. Emotional. Sexy.
The Monroe Garden is a heartfelt romance about first love, second chances, and the dangerous realization that sometimes the person who changes your life is the one you never saw coming.
Because the best things in life don't happen overnight.
They grow.
And if you're lucky...
They bloom. 🌿💕
