Cassie Linden Finds Her Sweet Spot

When newly divorced lawyer Cassie Linden returns home to care for her aging father, she doesn’t plan to fall for the taciturn beekeeper who tends her dad’s beloved bees. She’s got enough on her plate with a troubled son and her own memory lapses.

Cassie hopes her forgetfulness is just stress but fears the early onset Alzheimer’s that stole her mother. Genetic testing will tell for sure but will the answer sink her newfound chance at happiness?

About Linda


I’m a former Emmy-nominated TV news reporter who’s always loved a good story. After stepping away from the news business, I couldn’t resist taking a job at the public library in Stamford, Connecticut, where I’m surrounded by books. Really, they pay me for this?

A Southern California native, I’ve lived in Connecticut most of my adult life with my husband, two kids, and a succession of cranky cats and amiable dogs (that’s Delilah above). When I’m not writing or discovering my next great read at the library, you can find me digging in my garden, hiking with my grown kids in the Pacific Northwest or sailing on Long Island Sound.
