Sweet Caroline — Rachel Hauck

When a Southern waitress inherits the Lowcountry café where she works, she suddenly has to balance more than just her next food order.
Caroline Sweeney has always done the right thing -- the responsible, dependable thing -- unlike her mother who abandoned her family. But when her best friend challenges her to accept an exciting job adventure in Barcelona, Spain, Caroline says "yes" to a new destiny.

Then, without warning, ownership of the run-down café where she's been waitressing falls right into Caroline's lap. While she's trying to determine the cafe's future, handsome Deputy Sherriff J.D. Rand captures Caroline's heart.

But when her first love, Mitch O'Neal, comes back to town, fresh from the heat of his newly-found fame as a country music singer in Nashville, Caroline must make some hard choices about love and the pursuit of the sweet life.
