A mafia romantic comedy, set in the fictional town of Racine, British Columbia. (Pronounced "Ruh-seen, in true Canadian fashion) Evelyn is convinced her luck is finally turning when she finds an apartment complex with crazy-low rent, despite the ample security the building has been beefed up with. Hopefully now's her chance to start over, without her ex constantly on her tail and ruining her life. One little hiccup, though? Her unfairly attractive neighbour seems entirely displeased to be sharing a floor with her. She only hopes her grandmother's recipe of chocolate chunk cookies will be enough to win him over and make across the hall from him not so tense. Carter has worked hard to make sure the apartment he chose for his personal haven in the territory his mother, the Head of the Dolan Syndicate, granted him years ago is set up exactly how he likes. He has full control over who moves in, their security measures, even who can visit and who's blacklisted So when the landlord approves a woman he's never met before to move in without asking him first, Carter is furious, and despite the landlord insisting they at least give her until spring, is determined to run her off. However, spring is months away, and the cookies she's brought him as a greeting gift smell really good... Charlotte McCormack lives in the middle of the woods with her cat, her garden and the hundreds of animals in the trees watching and wondering what on earth she's doing out in the middle of nowhere. She is finally prying out of her brain the stories that have been stuck in there for years and is eager for you to read them.
