    About this ebook

    When a quintessential good girl meets a self-professed bad boy in school, they've no idea how long their friendship will last.

    Neither of them can imagine life without the other.

    Neither realises they've gone and fallen in love.

    Violet St. John went from playground nerd to delicately tattooed flower child. She grows herbs and flowers, making soap to sell in her little boutique in Fowey, Cornwall. 

    Geoffrey Edgar Baines IV sows his wild oats to spite his family. With his father losing their fortune, he's forced to grow up quickly. He now tries to change the world for the better.

    Hundreds of exchanged postcards over the past five years carry their hearts away without either of them even seeing it. 

    One not so gentle nudge from friends sends them tumbling toward a potential happily ever after.

    How could they not fall in love?  

    It was in the cards after all.
