Blurb:
In Heather Ridge, Virginia, myth has it the lucky
recipients of the two FIND ME candy hearts distributed each year are soul
mates.
Too afraid of seeing her one-time trusted friend, good-hearted Lyse Haynes refuses to go to her high school class reunion. But when she receives a second invitation containing the elusive candy heart, she takes an overdue vacation to pursue the dream of finally finding her soul mate.
Ice cream creator Cooper Schmidt plans to take his product nationwide. His marketing team proposes the perfect destination for his next store. Unfortunately, it belongs to the father of the woman he’s harbored feelings for since high school. He uses her belief in myths and mails her the candy heart to entice her to Heather Ridge, in hopes she will convince her father to sell.
There’s just one problem. After ten years, his old feelings tumble forward, stronger than ever, and Lyse has a decision to make—discover who has the candy heart companion or follow her heart.

Excerpt:
“Legend has it, there are two FIND ME candies
produced each year. When two people lucky enough to receive them see each
other, they know they found their soul mates.”
“Phfts.” Coop chuckled. “Good one.”
Rill ignored him. What he said was intriguing. She
always considered legends, myths, and superstitions as truths. “Shush,” she
said out of the corner of her mouth and focused on the storeowner. “Go on.”
“The thing is, most times finding the other person
is hard. People don’t know where to search. They check under flashy exteriors,
smug attitudes, and never see the person’s soul.”
“Come on,” Coop growled. “You’re not gonna trust
what he’s dishing out, are you? How can manufacturers produce two candies, send
them out worldwide, and expect the two people who receive them to find each
other?”
Odd, he didn’t get uptight about any of Rill’s
other stories. Today, his forehead pulled down, and his lips flattened.
“It’s a myth,” she said.
“Yeah, which you believe.” He spoke with a
combination of concern and disgust.
“I think it’s lovely. I bet that’s how I’ll find my
soul mate.”
Her comment got another, “Phft,” from Coop.
“I bet it will, little lady.” Rill put the tray
back under the counter.
“Let’s go.” Coop grabbed her hand. “Thanks, Rill.”
“Anytime,” he chuckled. “One more thing.”
She pulled on Coop’s hand. He wouldn’t stop, so she
yanked it. “Yeah?”
“The two people can only meet in Heather Ridge.”
“You’re kidding me.” Coop fumed, snatched her hand,
and tugged her out of the store.
“What’s your problem?” Again, she jerked her hand
away from his and stopped. “I think the story is great. It’s romantic. A
dream.”
“You haven’t checked out its veracity.”
Leave it to brain boy to think science rules
everything. “Sometimes there is no explanation.”
“I hear pigs fly. Do you think I should trust
hearsay?”
Now, he was being mean. “Not nice.”
He smiled lopsidedly. “You’re right.” He pulled her
into his arms, and she rested her head on his chest. Unlike with anyone else,
she discarded the dispute and absorbed his comfort.
“Hey, Lyse!” Wally shouted from across the road.
“Want some flowers for Friday? Come on, I’ll let you pick them out.”
No one ever bought her flowers. “Um…”
Coop gave her a tight squeeze and released her.
“Have a great time,” he said and walked in the opposite direction of the
florist. “See you around.”
