The Lewis
Cousins book #4
Contemporary
Romance
Synopsis:
When she was young, Serena Lewis was uprooted
from the life she knew. Her parents took her from everything and everyone she
loved, including her best friends… her cousins. Rebelling against the change,
Serena became a young woman she knew her family wouldn’t like. Now that she's
moving back home, she hopes to keep that part of herself in the past and become
the woman she's meant to be.
Jed Monroe is a self-made man. Forced to grow
up at a young age, he's always taken care of himself and worked to get what he
needed. Working construction has given him stability, but working with wood is
where his passion truly lies.
On the outside, petite and perfect Serena and
rough and hardworking Jed have nothing in common. When Serena moves into the
house next door, Jed is determined to ignore the sexy art gallery manager, who
he just knows will be a pain in his ass.
But their shared loved of creating beauty
from pain, along with the intangible chemistry that fires whenever they’re in
the same space, forces them to dig beneath the surface to find their
vulnerability. Jed will soon see that whether he likes Serena or not, she’s Too
Enchanting to ignore.
Too Enchanting is the fourth in an all-new
small town romance series by Bethany Lopez. Follow the Lewis cousins of Cherry
Springs, the kind of place where there are festivals for every occasion and
everyone knows your business, as they learn about love and loss.

Excerpt
Jed
We stood
there for a few moments, in the middle of a standoff. Not speaking or moving,
until Serena couldn’t stand it any longer.
“What do
you mean no?” she asked, as if I’d just said it. “That is what you’re
doing here, right, selling your creations?”
I
nodded.
“Yes, I’m
selling them, but I reserve the right to sell to who I want.”
“To
whom,” Serena said automatically, then when my eyes narrowed she muttered, “Sorry,”
probably realizing the way to get what she did not include correcting my
grammar. “But, I don’t understand. Why won’t you let me buy it?”
I sighed. It’s not that I wanted to be a dick, but the river table
was currently my favorite creation. I’d spent a lot of time getting it exactly
the way I wanted, and had an internal debate over keeping it for myself. When I
decided to sell it, I knew the buyer had to be perfect.
And yes,
Serena fuming with her perfect face and gorgeous hair that begged to be tugged
between my fingers was perfect for most things … but not for this.
