Waiting for Gilbert - Paperback

by Tasha Hackett (Author)

"I'm just a girl, standing in front of a phone,

asking her landlord to come to dinner."

Cute and fun Cordelia is history. From now on, I'm serious and focused CJ Thompson. No more snappy one-liners. No more dance-parties-for-one in restaurant booths.

Anne-girl is out. Marilla Cuthbert is in. It's time to grow up! If only it were that easy. With less than two weeks until a massive work deadline, I signed a twelve-month lease on a cottage sight-unseen because I couldn't bear to stay in the city another day after my broken engagement. It's all well and good until my landlord knocks on my door at two in the morning.

Who knew living next to a house-flipping, cello-playing, swooney-smiling, flesh-and-blood man named Gilbert would be so distracting?
