It's release day for Irene Davis’s latest, The Words and the Bees!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
After professional and personal setbacks, entomologist Celie is recovering at her family's Hudson Valley estate and re-meets her childhood playmate Daniel, a landscape designer hired to improve the estate. As much as Celie doesn't think the estate needs any improving, she's intrigued by Daniel, who needs this job to improve his career prospects.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When Celie and Daniel are put in forced proximity because of a dog sprayed by a skunk (bet you've never seen that twist before!), they get closer. Celie is charmed by Daniel and his penchant for making up dirty limericks, but she's been burned in the past and she's wary of getting too close. Can Daniel convince her he's worth the risk?

Clever and thoughtful and swoony, this is the third in Irene's Gilded Age romance series, Whitford Crew. It's a standalone, but the whole series is great! The Words and the Bees is available now!
