If he hates her so much, why does he keep looking at her like that?
From the New York Times Bestselling Author Penny Reid
There are three things you need to know about Ashley Winston: 1) She has six brothers and they all have beards, 2) She is a reader, and 3) She knows how to knit.
Former beauty queen, Ashley Winstonâs preferred coping strategy is escapism. She escaped her Tennessee small town, loathsome father, and six brothers eight years ago. Now she escapes life daily via her one-click addiction. However, when a family tragedy forces her to return home, Ashley canât escape the notice of Drew Runousâ local Game Warden, bear wrestler, philosopher, and everyoneâs favorite guy. Drewâs irksome philosophizing in particular makes Ashley want to run for the skyscrapers, especially since he canât seem to keep his exasperating opinionsâ or his soulful poetry, steadfast support, and delightful handsâ to himself. Pretty soon the girl who wanted nothing more than the escape of the big city finds sheâs lost her heart in small town Tennessee.
Beauty and the Mustache is book #4 in the Knitting in the City series, and book #0.5 in the Winston Brothers series. Each book is a standalone, full length (110k words), contemporary romantic comedy novel, and follows the misadventures and exploits of seven friends in Chicago, all members of the same knitting group.
