Ten little fingers and ten perfect toes mean Luke Crowe’s in trouble. Luke Crowe has everything a man could want—looks, a great job, a healthy bank account, and near-legendary luck with women—until an ex-girlfriend drops a surprise package on his door in the form of his six-week-old daughter, Daisy. Always a man with a plan, Luke goes home to sleepy Twin Elks, Colorado, and his mother. However, his mother, Dot, is not that eager to put her life on hold and raise Luke’s daughter so he can keep his life on its current course. Suddenly, Luke must devise a new plan and one that shouldn’t involve the town veterinarian and pin-up gorgeous Cara Addison. Cara is a Twin Elks enigma. Any attempt to date Cara lands the male residents of Twin Elks in the friend zone. Until smooth-talking, smoking-hot Luke Crowe comes to town and challenges her man moratorium. But Cara has a good reason for swearing off men—her controlling and abusive ex-husband. Reeling from her previous marriage, Cara is unable to trust her judgment when it comes to men. With a new daughter and his life spinning out of control, Luke has no room for once-bitten-twice-shy Cara. As their attraction tugs the couple closer together, both of their pasts keep pulling them apart. It’s that time again—when the charming residents of Twin Elks must prod, pester, and persuade these two strangers to give up their ideas of passing through and take a chance on love.Scroll up and ‘Buy Now’ for a long overdue welcome back to Twin Elks, Colorado—the town where love comes to stay.

Born British and raised in South Africa, Sarah Hegger suffers from an incurable case of wanderlust. Her match? A hot Canadian engineer, whose marriage proposal she accepted six short weeks after they first met. Together they’ve made homes in seven different cities across three different continents (and back again once or twice). If only it made her multilingual, but the best she can manage is idiosyncratic English, fluent Afrikaans, conversant Russian, pigeon Portuguese, even worse Zulu and enough French to get herself into trouble. Mimicking her globe trotting adventures, Sarah’s career path began as a gainfully employed actress, drifted into public relations, settled a moment in advertising, and eventually took root in the fertile soil of her first love, writing. She also moonlights as a wife and mother. She currently lives in Draper, Utah, with her teenage daughters, two Golden Retrievers and aforementioned husband. Part footloose buccaneer, part quixotic observer of life, Sarah’s restless heart is most content when reading or writing books.
