![]() Nick and Eve
Goodreads / Amazon / Barnes & Noble / iBooks / Kobo / Google Play -- EXCERPT: Eve rolled to a stop in the driveway. “This is impressive.” Strings of unlit Christmas lights framed his grandmother’s two-storey house and circled the spruce tree in the front yard. Plastic candy canes stuck in the snowbanks lined the sidewalk, and a pinecone-studded wreath twice the size of the one on the tow-truck’s grill hung from the screen door. “You should see the inside. Can you wait till I’m certain her car will start? She hasn’t run it in a couple weeks,” Nick said. His grandmother must have been watching from the window, because the front door opened before they hit the first step. “Come in, it’s freezing out here,” she said. The entranceway and the adjacent living room were fully Christmas-bombed, from the reindeer-shaped sofa cushions to the double-decker white candy bowl stand, which had a Frosty face and top hat stuck to the top of the wire frame. Nick held back a snicker as Eve spun in a three-sixty and breathed a quiet, “Whoa.” “You’re not kidding,” he whispered back. “I’m Adelaide Klassen. Who might you be?” his gran asked. She was dressed for her appointment. After a lifetime of seeing her in business suits at the office, it was always a shock to Nick’s system to see his grey-haired grandmother in jeans and a plaid, flannel shirt. Eve gave Adelaide’s hand a hearty shake. “Eve LeBlanc, tow-truck driver.” “It’s lovely to meet you. Are you a special friend of Nick’s?” Nick sighed. She was starting, and they’d been in the house for thirty seconds. “No, Gran, she’s not my girlfriend.” “I just picked him up on the side of the road. I must say he is the cutest stray I’ve come across in a while,” Eve added with a smile. “Don’t encourage her!” ![]()
