Top Hats and Bow Ties

An ambitious planner.
An eccentric artist.
A flower shop with dangerous secrets…
Aurora Hart has a plan. Her budding design and event business will one day allow her to buy her dream home, a little historic house in her small town of Coon Valley. She’s ambitious and precise and knows what she wants.
Rhodes Dumont, the new owner of the local flower shop, does not have a plan. He’s everything that makes Aurora crazy, an artist who misses details and lets life happen to him. The fact that the eccentric man is beautiful, charming, and dresses in Regency period clothing he sews himself? She refuses to be affected by him.
Challenged to design a room for her friends’ new inn, the pair chooses to work together, and not with the best results. Add in a burglary related to the murder at the inn, and there’s enough danger and tension to tank their friendship before it starts. God will have to do some deep work on these hearts to get Aurora and Rhodes where he wants them, both individually and as a team.
Top Hats and Bow Ties is book two of Straw Hats and Old Lace, a contemporary Christian romance and mystery series of novellas.
