Meant for Me

He was her best friend. Still is. But when her beloved beignet shop burns down, he'll have to be more if she hopes to start over. But will friendship survive the dangers of a marriage of convenience? Lincoln "Linc" Fontenot enjoys working out, running his crawfish business, and the company of approximately three people. Zoey Lakewood has been at the top of that short list for years, the only bit of sunshine he ever allows to part his comfortably cloudy sky. But when Linc's steady, quiet world is rocked by the unexpected guardianship of a teen girl, his friendship with Zoey becomes even more crucial. He needs help, bad...but maybe not as bad as Zoey. Zoey's never had a problem manifesting joy. But having just lost her home and her beignet business to an uninsured fire, for once she struggles to find the silver lining. She and Linc arrange to help each other out-as just friends, of course. She'll provide teen-parenting assistance while he provides a place for her to get back on her feet. But one thing her friendship with Linc has never had to navigate is close proximity. Tension-and chemistry-mount as they attempt to manage this sudden insta-family. But Zoey just lost everything, and she can't risk losing her best friend, too. Will her friendship with Linc go up in flames like her beignet shop? Or will Linc and Zoey finally realize they were meant for each other? Magnolia BayBook 1: Where I Found YouBook 2: No Place Like HomeBook 3: Meant for Me
