Falling in love with Elijah Booth was never Milly's plan, but the warm Texas summer, two adorable aunts and a horse called Smoky might just change her mind. Milly Parker, a British singer, has packed her bags and is heading to her aunts' house in Austin. Sally and Carrie run the best coffee shop in town, and Milly is about to become their newest barista. She's also about to meet some of Sally's best customers. From nine to ninety-nine, they come in all ages, shapes and sizes. One in particular, Elijah Booth, catches her eye, but he is not like the boys she left behind. Elijah, like almost every other single person in town, has made a vow of celibacy-not even a kiss before marriage. Can Milly adjust to her new life in a new country and the new rules that come with it-or will she start to wonder if her new normal is even normal at all?
