Overview
āA charming bookĀ about hope for a new life full of love!āāNancy Thayer, New York Times bestselling author of All the Days of Summer
After escaping a bad relationship, Jess Cavendish is running and leaving it all behind, carrying just a few treasured belongings in her knapsack. She needs to start over, but that means sleeping where she can and making the most of her slim savings. Luckily, she comes across a recently sold, unoccupied house. It couldnāt hurt to stay there while she saves up enough to get her own place, right?
Gethin Thomas is also looking to move on after the end of a long-term relationship. Heās returned to his hometown, anxious to renovate the fixer-upper he bought and move out of his sisterās cramped guest room. When he walks through the door one morning, he finds Jess, whoās ready to run again, and surprises them both by offering to let her stay. It feels like the right thing to do, but Jess doesnāt want a handout. They strike a bargain: Jess will help with the restoration, furnishing, and decorating in exchange for room and board.
While they peel wallpaper and shop for newĀ furniture, an unexpected friendship develops as they bond over music and food, and slowly open up to each other about their pasts. When itās time for Gethin to move in, he convinces Jess to be his official housemate and she agreesāso long as he lets her pay rent. The connection between them soon shifts to an attraction that seems both inevitable and overwhelming, and Jess must decide what she wants. With so much hurt in her past, can she risk loving again? She was brave enough to reach for a new lifeāand now a future she hadnāt even dreamed possible could be just within her grasp.
