He’s battled his demons. Now he’s ready to fight for her.
​
Clare
Eight years ago, my best friend Beau Hart kissed me… and then drove away.
​
Now he’s back at the orchard, sliding into my workspace and my life like he never left.
​
I’ve built my career at Hart Apples from the ground up. I don’t need his help or opinions. And I’m certainly not about to let the boy who broke my trust stroll in and take over.
The trouble is, I still recognise the man beneath the smile—only now there’s a solidness to him, a quiet confidence, that makes looking away harder than it should be.
​
Getting close to Beau again might be the biggest mistake of my life.
Beau
Leaving home saved me. Anxiety had me trapped, and distance was the only way I could breathe. But it cost me Clare.
Now I’m back, stronger, and ready to prove I’m not the man who walked away.
She’s wary, guarded, and every bit as stubborn as the girl I once knew. And if it’s possible, even more beautiful. She’s the reason this place feels like home again.
I need her to believe I’m here to stay—because losing her twice isn’t an option I can live with.
Extras
I once visited an apple orchard in Tasmania in winter. It was warmer in the coolroom than it was outside.
