Fiddlesticks & Cornpaste with Pirates and Pistachios — Rachel Hale

Meet Constance Merriwether Fullerton, an editor for a prominent Christians magazine and an avid book reader. Connie is about to embark on her yearly expedition with her three best friends from college, Dramatic Diana, Jessica the raven-haired, Indian beauty, and Funny Patty. Due to a broken heart from her junior year of college, Connie has sworn off love until she finds the one. Mishaps and mayhem reign as Connie soon finds herself completely smitten with Daniel Muldoon, their private cruise guide, who is anything but boring and may be more than he seems Between chip dip, walking the plank, bobbing in the middle of the ocean, and falling through a centuries old pirate tunnel, Connie and Daniel never seem to have the chance to share their first kiss! Will our dear, prudish bookworm be able to overcome her fears and finally be loved like the heroines in her books? Will Daniel turn out to be the man of her dreams, or will his past catch up with him faster than he expected and ruin any chance for a happily ever after? Or will Connie and Daniel manage to find a place in their hearts for Fiddlesticks and Cornpaste with Pirates and Pistachios?
