“Second First Impressions is the warmest, coziest, sweetest book of the year, an absolutely perfect blend of humor and heart.
After all, there is a position vacant….
Teddy can stay in one of Providence’s on-site maintenance cottages—right next door to an unimpressed Ruthie—but only if he works there and starts to grow up.
Ruthie knows how this sweetly selfish rich boy can earn his keep—and be out of her hair in under a week.
When Teddy needs a place to crash, he makes a deal with his developer dad.
Teddy Prescott devotes his life to sleeping, tattooing, and avoiding seriousness.
Until, one day, someone dazzling blows into town.
All she needs to do is stay serious—and that’s what she does best.
Maybe after all that, she can find a cute guy to date.
She might also be able to defend her safe little world from Prescott Development, the new buyer of the prime site.
If Ruthie can run the place in her almost-retired bosses’ absence, with no hijinks/hiccups, she has a shot at becoming the new manager.
That’s sort of her life plan.
Ruthie Midona will work in Providence’s front office, and be at the Parloni’s beck and call, forever.

The salary is generous and the employers are 90 years old, so how hard could the job be? Well, none have lasted longer than a week.
An advertisement has been placed (again!) by the wealthy and eccentric Parloni Sisters.

Duties include boutique shopping, fast-food fetching, and sincerely rendered flattery.
