He’s my best friend’s brother. I can’t remember a time when I didn’t have a crush on Noah Marshall. It’s been ten years since I last saw him—and when I set eyes on him once more, I realize my feelings for him have only intensified. It was supposed to be a simple visit—a short time in the US, where I had so many happy memories. I just wanted to share this small town, where I grew up, with my adopted daughter. Helping my BFF establish a new business gave us a reason to linger…and threw Noah back into my life. 

I’m crazy about his seductive smile and sweet kisses. But the more I resist, the deeper I fall in love. 

My life is back in Australia, but Noah is here, in small-town USA. My daughter wants nothing to do with him. She is my world…but could he be too? "OMG! I wish I had Joanne’s storytelling mind, because this book, is a great addition to the portfolio of amazing books, I have read from her. The story is not just about the romance between Noah and Abby, but is interwoven with the painful issue of child neglect and the effects it has on the child in the long term. The book took me on an emotional rollercoaster but also kept me on the edge of my seat. Joanne is one of my favourite authors and I can’t wait to read her next book, because it is definitely going to be amazing."~Korkoi, Goodreads
