    About this ebook

    Willodean
    I moved back to Capricorn Cove to escape the daily grind of the city and be closer to my brother and sister and their growing families.
    So, what did I do? I bought a chicken farm, Yep. I traded in suits and briefcases for overalls and gumboots.
    Look... it sounded like a good idea at the time.
    And it was...for all of five minutes. That's how long it took for me to figure out that my chickens are Satan's minions as they tried to burn down the barn.
    Worst day ever.
    Or at least, it was. Enter Teresa 'Teddy' Prince. The hottest firefighter I've ever clapped eyes on and my newest crush. Perhaps my chickens aren't so bad after all…

    Teresa
    When meeting the woman I might want to spend the rest of my life with, I expected sparks not a goddamned fire.
    Willow is funny, creative, intriguing—and available.
    But I've been burned before, and I know she's hiding something. After all, no one just up and buys a chicken farm… right?

    Warning: This book is inspired by strong women, crazy chickens, and hot summer nights. So, get thee a partner, some lingerie, and settle in — this book is bound to ruffle your feathers.

      PROLOGUE

      Willodean

      Istared at the invitation in my hands.

      Oh, Baby!

      You're invited to a (virtual) baby shower honouring Honey Rodriguez on August 14.

      Oh damn.

      August 14 th, my surgery date.

      I swallowed, running a hand through my hair and grimacing when strands clung to my sweaty skin, before falling to the floor.

      You have to tell them. You can't hide it anymore.

      I looked up, catching a glimpse of myself in my hallway mirror. Outside, cars drove past, the noise of the city only slightly muted by the heavy door and insulated walls of my brownstone.

      My blonde hair looked limp, greasy, and patchy. Dark circles and pale skin completed the unhealthy picture.

      Chemotherapy was kicking my ass.

      Six months ago, on the eve of my sister's wedding, I'd noticed some weird rash on my breast. Assuming it was just an allergy, I'd put off seeing a doctor for a few weeks.

      The rash had turned out to be inflammatory breast cancer. An aggressive form of cancer that we had to treat aggressively in turn. Chemotherapy, mastectomy, more chemo, and even some hormone therapy. I was lucky. I'd managed to catch it early enough to avoid hitting stage four but was still at stage 3B – or what I called the shit-hitting-the-fan stage.

      The cancer had spread to my mammary lymph nodes but no, thankfully, to other parts of my body. It was late enough that it had caused damage but early enough that I had an excellent chance at recovery.

      I remembered getting home after the specialist appointment, unwrapping my scarf from around my neck, and dropping onto the couch beside my girlfriend, Lou.

      You okay? she'd asked, as she flicked through the channels on our TV.

      Umm…

      She'd settled on an old Judge Judy replay, laughing when Judy rolled her eyes at the witness.

      I love Judy. She's the best.

      I cleared my throat, trying to pull myself together.

      Lou… there's something I need to tell you.

      She'd turned to me, her expression interested but not alarmed.

      I have breast cancer.

      We'd cried together on the couch still sat in my living room. We'd sobbed and made pledges. We'd agreed to do whatever was necessary to get me through this. Then we'd gone to bed, making frantic love – the kind people did when they realised life was precious and had learned just how breakable they were.

      I'd woken, gone to work, and returned home to find Lou gone. All her possessions and presence scrubbed from our house. She'd even taken our cat.

      On the counter had been a note with just two words.

      I'm sorry.

      The blow had been devastating, but I'd worked through it even as I'd hesitated to reveal my life-changing news to anyone.

      When the pandemic hit, I’d had an excuse to hide in my brownstone. I’d worked from home when I could, but more often than not found myself puking into a toilet bowl after a chemo session. I'd hired a live-in nurse, appreciating Maddison's no-nonsense attitude.

      I was just about to wind up my first six-month chemo session. I had a tentative surgery date of the fourteenth of August for my mastectomy.

      I swallowed, bile burning the back of my throat.

      My hair had held out the longest. Perhaps because it was so thick. Or maybe I'd just been lucky. But looking in the mirror, I couldn't blame the dark circles and pale skin on late nights in the office anymore. I had to tell the truth.

      My sister is having a baby, and I’m about to lose my breasts.

      I blew out a breath.

      Alexa, what time is it in Capricorn Cove?

      The little machine blinked, registering my question. It's 7:04 p.m. in Capricorn Cove.

      I swallowed again, turning away from my hall mirror to find Maddison staring at me, her expression knowing.

      Is it finally time? she asked.

      I blinked back tears, my throat working rapidly.

      She came down, putting an arm around my shoulders in a motherly gesture. I'll be right here with you.

      She settled me on the hateful couch where I'd first vocalised my diagnosis, then handed me my cell.

      Go on, call your family.

      With a deep breath, I pressed dial.

      Hey, sis! You must be psychic cause Cal and Emily just turned up! Honey laughed down the phone.

      I closed my eyes, both cursing my timing and unreasonably grateful that I could tell most of my family this news in one hit.

      Honey, can you put me on speaker? I asked, my voice sounding weak.

      Sure, hang on a second. There was a fumbling then
