Rekindle your belief in the magic of first love and the charm of small towns with Annie England Noblin's delightful friends-to-lovers romantic comedy, perfect for readers of Jill Shalvis and Sarah Adams.

Spring is in the air and Mylie has everything she could ever want: her tackle shop is thriving and employs a third of Clay Creek, Arkansas, and she lives with her beloved Granny and little sister Cassie, who both keep her on her toes. As tourists pour into town for the annual fishing tournament, Mylie is in her element and ready to bring her all-women team to victory.

After moving to Chicago, Ben never thought he would return to Clay Creek. But with both his grandfather and mother gone, he's left to deal with their estate. His plan is simple: come in quietly, fix up his lakeside childhood home, sell it quickly, and get out. He underestimates how quickly his arrival will stir up the local gossip, and how intensely his unresolved feelings for Mylie, his childhood best friend, will resurface.

Amid the buzz of competition and the rhythm of small-town life, Mylie and Ben find themselves unable to ignore their shared history. They tentatively explore a future together, despite the impending sale of Ben's house and Mylie's insistence on staying put in Clay Creek. Flings are easier said than done, and Mylie and Ben will have to address their clashing lifestyles before their feelings get away from them.

Told with Annie England Noblin's signature wit, cozy charm, and a dash of spice, Spring Fling is the perfect friends-to-lovers read.

Praise for this book

"The title says it all. Christmas at Corgi Cove is a Hallmark movie in book form, complete with a charming small town and all the adorable corgis you could want...A read as cozy and delightful as an afternoon by a winter fire." -- Entertainment Weekly

"Christmas in Blue Dog Valley is a sweet tale about new chances, new friends, and a new life far from the glitz and glamour of Los Angeles. Goldie is entranced by the locals who slowly begin to warm up to her. She also gets to meet the local animals: Large Marge, the horse; Alice, the cape-wearing alpaca; Kevin, the 'worst sheepdog' around (who knows a good person when he meets Goldie!); and also Airport, the Sphinx cat that Goldie rescued at baggage claim." -- Romance Reviews Today

"Feelgood fiction at its finest. Annie England Noblin has crafted an utterly entertaining tale of unexpected chances and small-town secrets, and it's as sweet and comforting as a hand-knit sweater and a warm puppy in your lap." -- Susan Wiggs, New York Times bestselling author, on St. Francis Society for Wayward Pets

"Noblin's books are known for their connection to pets, and the animals are present here... Despite some heavy subject matter...the story is funny and light. Readers will bond with Maeve and her sweet disposition." -- Booklist on St. Francis Society for Wayward Pets

"Fans of Mary Kay Andrews and Mary Alice Monroe will enjoy Noblin's lighthearted second novel. For many readers, spending time immersed in Caroline's world might be just the ticket." -- Library Journal on Just Fine with Caroline
