Cowboy Cal Hayden has loved Rachel Gray practically since the first time he set eyes on her. But Cal’s a careful, responsible man who knows better than to start a relationship before he can give it his all. He bided his time while caring for his family through his father’s terminal illness. Now his father is gone and his mother is settled, but has Cal waited too long to make his move? Find out more about these friends of the Bradens in Love at Last, and catch up with many of your favorite Love in Bloom characters, including much-anticipated news about babies for the Bradens in Trusty, Colorado! If this is your first introduction to the Bradens, please note that this is a flirt not a full-length novel. Like all Love in Bloom books, flirts are written to stand alone, so jump right in and enjoy the fun, sexy, and emotional ride. What is a Flirt? The Love in Bloom big-family romance world has become so widely enjoyed, I have been asked by thousands of readers to write the stories of our beloved side characters. While I couldn’t possibly fit in writing full-length novels for each of them while maintaining my normal publication schedule, I’ve created flirts. Flirts cover twenty-four to forty-eight hours of two side characters’ lives on their path to their happily ever after, while also updating readers about their favorite main characters. Flirts vary in length and heat levels. I hope you love these quick, fun, sexy stories as much as I enjoy writing them. If this is your first Love in Bloom story, then you have a whole series of loyal, sexy, and wickedly naughty heroes and smart, sassy heroines to catch up with. The characters from each family series within the Love in Bloom world cross into other family series and make appearances in future books so you never miss an engagement, wedding, or birth.

From the moment we meet Cal and Rachel, sparks are flying all over the place ." - Amy, Once Upon a Book Blog "For such a short read, Melissa Foster sure packs in a lot of emotion and heat ." - Helen, Blissfully Bookish Besties "Melissa's Flirt line is like a breath of fresh air. (...) When I need a Foster fix, these novellas are perfect. They're short enough to read in an afternoon, but long enough for two characters to find happiness." - Crystal Blogs Books "Just because it's a short story doesn't mean it's lacking in the flirty, sexy hotness. " - Red Reader " A whole lotta awesome packed in the story." - Alissa, Goodreads "There is heart and heat between the two main characters and just a general heartwarming bunch of other characters that made this a fun and enjoyable book that can easily be read in one sitting." - Lucia's Book Reviews " A sexy, smoking hot novella that Melissa manages to get a full love story into. She hits it out of the park again." - Kathy, Goodreads "A bit shorter than a novella, but surely just as gratifying, this is a perfect read for your evening commute on the train or a lazy afternoon on the couch." - Jamesia, Synergy Quest "What an amazing story , Melissa truly is an incredible story teller." - MommySuz, Goodreads "Love at Last is such a sweet, fun, sexy flirt of a novella!
