Book excerpt: "Barbara Freethy is one of my favorite authors! She creates amazing characters and stories, with a lot of love, friendship and mystery that make her books always very, very good." Cinthia - Goodreads Molly Trent is a passionate herbalist whose sorrow-filled childhood has driven her to a new mission in life—to make people feel better. Unfortunately, a series of burglaries at her wellness shop and a disgruntled customer put her in the path of a cynical and suspicious detective, who thinks she does more harm than good. She's used to criticism, but she sees something in the tightly-controlled police detective that she wants to unleash, if only she could get him to trust her. Trust doesn't come easily to Detective Adam Cole. He has been a loner for as long as he can remember. He's very good at protecting people. He's great at being a friend, but relationships that go beyond that—not so much. After a heartbreaking tragedy at nineteen, he put up walls that are never coming down. Despite what Molly Trent might think, he does not need help or herbs to be happy. Unfortunately, what he needs is her. The chemistry between them almost makes him wonder if she hasn't cast some sort of spell over him. But he fights their attraction hard, because he doesn't do forever, and he can't imagine that an optimistic romantic like Molly would settle for anything less. But when they get tangled up in life and love, anything can happen… Irresistible and captivating romance awaits in TANGLED UP IN YOU from #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Barbara Freethy!
