Green Grass — Gemini Judson

Adrian “Ace” Culpepper is down on her luck. Actually she's been down on her luck most of her life. Her mother died giving birth to her younger sister Holly, eleven years ago. Her card-playing father left her nothing but a garage on a small plot of land. She's a self-taught chemist, distilling her essential oils and making very little money. She's looking for a lifeline.

Kevin Shepherd is a graduate student, studying the air quality on a mountain in coastal Maine. He nurses a broken heart from a love affair long gone. When he stumbles and falls one rainy afternoon, an angel rescues him and brings him home to her garage. He enters Adrian's world and says goodbye to his heart.

Side by side, with their hearts ablaze, they battle to right old wrongs and heal old wounds. Kevin was looking for fresh air. He found Adrian.
