For better or worse, in sickness and in health, as long as she keeps her crush in check… Daisy LaFleur is determined to prove she’s a capable adult. But when she moves out and accepts a temporary teaching job, reality sinks in—she’s alone, hours from home, and unable to drive or secure the epilepsy medications she so desperately needs. Then, in walks Dr. Landry Reed—her brother’s former roommate and Camellia’s resident grump. Despite his cynical outlook on love, Landry can’t resist helping a damsel in distress.
So Daisy proposes a trade: a spare bedroom in exchange for his taxi services, last name, and health insurance—so long as they both shall live together (platonically, of course). Landry doubts his tolerance for Daisy’s bright disposition until she begins filling the cracks in his rough exterior. And once she helps him overcome his pessimistic nature, he finds himself thinking of her as his wife instead of his best friend’s little sister. Now Landry’s one-knee deep in marital debt, while Daisy’s relying on a Hail Mary to get him to acknowledge what’s right in front of him.
Hail Mary Catch is the third minty romance in Marie Veillon’s Camellia Rom-Com Series. This novel contains Catholic and Christian themes and could be categorized as a “minty rom-com” or a closed-door romance with the door cracked open.
