Description
Bliss O’Neill breaks up with her boyfriend Michael in the most shocking manner possible. The fact that he’s her boss just makes things a hundred times worse. Alone, unemployed, she needs to start piecing her life back together again, fast.
But is her hometown in the forest of Maplegrove the right place to do it? Or should she simply sell up and head to a big city for a fresh start elsewhere?
Former mayor Daniel Alexander offers Bliss a lifeline in the form of buying her house and giving her a job on his mayoral re-election campaign if she’ll stay until the autumn to help him win.
The trouble is, the more Bliss sees of him, and the campaign, and the friendship between Daniel and Michael, the more worried she starts to become. Especially since Daniel’s wife died not all that long ago under some very strange circumstances . . .
The one light in Bliss’s life is newcomer Philip, who says he’s setting up a security business in the town. He’s a gorgeous hunk, but way too forward for a shy girl like her. Besides, Bliss is still smarting from her appalling break-up, and local gossip Margaret seems to have her claws in the guy already. The last thing Bliss wants is to get herself even more talked about.
But Philip is determined that Bliss is the right woman for him. He just has to get her to see that. But first, he needs to bring the men he’s been investigating undercover in Maplegrove to justice at last. Then he can worry about telling Bliss the truth about who he really is. But will she ever forgive him for all the lies . . . ?
