Colleen Margaret Mary O'Rourke, bartender and proprietor of O'Rourke's Tavern in Manningsport, NY has spent most of her adult life playing matchmaker to the singles in her town. Colleen's life has been devoted to helping people find love, plan weddings and thanks to her excellent match- making skills, she has had several babies named after her in dedication. Colleen is perfectly happy in her life. She loves her job, her dog, Rufus, and her twin brother Connor, who is always at her side to cheer her up when she feels like diving head first in a vat of Ben & Jerry's ice cream. Yes, Colleen has built a great life for herself, which comes as a shock since ten years ago her heart was broken when her lover left her behind.

Lucas Damien Campbell, even his name sounds sexy, arrives in Manningsport from Chicago, where he has been the past ten years. Colleen takes one look his way and all the anger she felt from his abandonment, comes racing in tenfold, not to mention all the echoing passion of the love affair they shared ten years ago, before he broke her heart and married another woman.

Now, a family trauma has brought them together once more to share in an adventure of passion and love and a journey that will mend broken hearts, but only if they can accept that fate pulled them apart and fate brought them together for a second chance.

Kristan Higgins has done it again. WAITING ON YOU is a love story about trust, honor, commitment and the path that love sometimes takes to find out what love is all about. WAITING ON YOU is sexy, passionate and enduring. In the end, it begs you to ask the question, just who could be waiting on you?

Book Summary

Colleen O'Rourke is in love with love…just not when it comes to herself. Most nights, she can be found behind the bar at the Manningsport, New York, tavern she owns with her twin brother, doling out romantic advice to the lovelorn, mixing martinis and staying more or less happily single. See, ten years ago, Lucas Campbell broke her heart…an experience Colleen doesn't want to have again, thanks. Since then, she's been happy with a fling here and there, some elite-level flirting and playing matchmaker to her friends.

But a family emergency has brought Lucas back to town, handsome as ever and still the only man who's ever been able to crack her defenses. Seems like maybe they've got some unfinished business waiting for them—but to find out, Colleen has to let her guard down, or risk losing a second chance with the only man she's ever loved.
