Mildred Budge in Cloverdale (The Adventures of Mildred Budge Book 1)
Mildred Budge couldn’t say no for long… Oh. She knew how. Mildred could say no to a second cup of ice cream. Could resist drinking too much champagne. But when it came right down to a friend needing a favor, she always said yes.
That’s how Mildred ended up with strangers camped out in her spare bedroom and how she became a co-owner of a booth at an antique emporium. The only final no Mildred had said in recent history was to a man who loved her. Hugh wasn’t the first man to pursue her. But he was the most recent. And she had been flattered but not interested—not in the way he wanted her to be interested. Hugh didn’t give up right away. He followed her around at church. Found her in the church kitchen after a fellowship supper to aid in the clean-up. And finally, her would-be lover had just asked her outright.
Hugh called her on the phone right before walking down the aisle with a glamorous widow who got him on the rebound to see if she wanted to change her mind—say yes to a life with him after all—but she said, “I wish you all the best†instead. Not long afterwards her friend Hugh was dead in the bed of the other woman he had married: Liz, the serial widow. Mildred Budge felt the effects of that no then, and she couldn’t leave it behind. Only her best friend Fran understood. If you have ever said no and later regretted it, you will adore this first novel in the Mildred Budge series.
