Trick or Tea - Wolf-Heffner, Lori

. .

Résumé :
Will tea bags come between Claire and Richard? It's 1987 and Claire's Tea Shop is losing business to herbal teas that promise health benefits, the doughnut shop that serves smokers, and Claire's ultimate nemesis: tea bags that offer convenience. So intently focused on saving her business, Claire's romantic feelings for Richard, her husband of almost 20 years, have all but evaporated. Seeing his wife struggle leaves Richard's heart steeped in sadness. She refuses his every offer of help but it's almost Halloween and Claire must turn things around by Christmas or risk closing her store forever. Richard takes one last courageous stand: He suggests Claire sell tea bags. Trick or Tea is the second short story prequel to Lori Wolf-Heffner's Tea Shop for Two, the first book in her sweet romance series, Love on Belmont. If you love books and tea, soak up the flavours of this fun romance while you enjoy your favourite cuppa....

Biographie:
Lori Wolf-Heffner is the author of the young adult series Between Worlds and the sweet romance series Love on Belmont. Inspired by her great-grandmother's story, Lori wrote and published Between Worlds 1: The Move in 2018. In this series, girls strive to grow up according to their dreams. Whether Juliana today is still trying to discover her life's goals or Elisabeth in 1920 dreams of fulfilling her community's expectations of her, it's up to them to decide what paths they want to follow. In 2020, Lori wanted to branch out into a series for adults that would still have connections to her favourite neighbourhood and even to Between Worlds. Books and tea went well together, but she knew that basing a series in a real but very small location like Belmont Village came with a high level of responsibility: readers might assume that what Lori wrote about had actually happened in real life. She approached the owner of All Things Tea, the real tea shop in Belmont Village, to ensure she could create a fictional tea shop in a romance series. She was given the green light, and Love on Belmont was born.Lori was an inaugural member of the Canadian National Tap Team, wrote and submitted a Star Trek novel in her teens (it was rejected-she needed an agent), and spent one day twice in Luxembourg and 15 minutes once in Switzerland. She can also do cartwheels.
