About this ebook

Welcome to Mayhem, Minnesota, where the cats wear sweaters, the local priest dispenses dating advice, and you can find your fortune in the bottom of a pie tin...

When her family's pub is threatened with foreclosure, Hennessy O'Halloran and her three sisters are determined to raise enough money to keep it out of the hands of the Los Angeles real-estate developer trying to raze it and replace it with a—no, thank you—multiplex theater.

Bryan Truitt always gets what he wants. And what he wants is the sweet corner property on Mayhem's Main Street where O'Halloran's Pub sits. But his "quick business" turns into more than he bargains for when he meets the feisty Hennessy. Next thing he knows, he's betting her he can outlast Mayhem's punishing winter in time to make the pub his, or he'll gift it to her...for free.

Hennessy knows better than to flirt with the enemy. But suddenly Bryan's not sure which he wants more...the property or the woman who owns it.

Ratings and reviews

I really enjoyed this book. It's full of charm, family, and small town goodness. The Whiskey sisters are all fantastic and I can't wait for the other's stories. Hennessy and Bryan are so cute together and the author did a great job with their story. After the death of their father the O'Halloran sisters are struggling to keep the family pub open and running. They have enough to deal with without some developer trying to get his hands on their property. Yet that's exactly what Bryan Truitt, Mr. Bigshot LA real estate guy, is trying to do. All his flash and charm might work in LA but in Mayham, MN they do things just a bit differently. With all the barbs and sparks flying between Bryan and Hennessy it isn't long before they have a bet. If Bryan can make it through a long MN winter the pub is his, if he can't he'll give it over to the sisters. Don't miss the fun as these two battle it out. I highly recommend this one.

About the author

L.E. Rico didn’t set out to be an author. In fact she’s made a name for herself as a classical music radio host—doing her best to make the music and the composers relevant by putting them into a modern context. It was just a few years ago that she discovered a passion for writing that blossomed into an entire novel. And then another. And another. Today, she still spends plenty of time on the radio, telling the stories of the great composers, but she spends even more time composing her own great stories.

She lives in New York with her husband, Tom, and one impossibly cute/obnoxiously bratty miniature schnauzer named Gracie. When she’s not behind a microphone or in front of her computer, she enjoys binge watching English, Danish and Australian crime thrillers.
