When you are smitten, you are crushing hard on someone. You are in love (all lowercase) and not quite at the LOVE point but getting there. Michigan is known as the mitten state. A part of the reason is because the state is shaped like a mitten but also because it's freaking cold there and I'm wearing mittens today (yep, after Mother's Day). So it's wonderful that author, Susan V. Vaughn has decided to run with the play on words for her new series, Smitten... romances set in the state of Michigan. Blurb: Ted Harper knew moving to Milford to open his dream bar wouldn’t be easy. But he could have never imagined he would be so easily distracted from his goal. Violet Marino is beautiful, smart, captivating, and unfortunately, his next-door neighbor. Now Ted has a dilemma on his hands he didn’t anticipate as his life becomes entangled with a woman he can’t seem to forget. Violet Marino has spent decades caring for her family and working at her father’s restaurant as a waitress. Hardly the life she dreamed of living when she was a little girl. But after her mother died, she was never a little girl again. Thrust into the parenting role for her two younger siblings, Violet sacrificed everything for their well-being. When a handsome business owner offers her more than just a sweet escape, Violet is tempted to take him up on the offer. Even if that means jumping into the unknown. Now Up for Pre-Order!
