Women's Fiction
“A classic romance. . . . It’s been done countless times,
but rarely as engagingly as Shelton does it in this novel.”
–Boston Globe
Jamie is a free-spirited artist
and devoted single mom with a slightly unorthodox living
situation: in exchange for free rent, she looks after the
grandson of her much older landlord. But when Harris Goddard
dies of a heart attack–naked and splayed out in Jamie’s
bed–nobody believes that he and Jamie were just
roommates.
With the rumor mill buzzing and two small
children to care for, Jamie’s life is further upended when
Harris’s handsome son, Nate, a charismatic jet-setting
salesman, shows up unannounced at his childhood home to
settle the estate and reclaim the five-year-old son he left
behind.
As Jamie’s and Nate’s highly guarded worlds
collide, can these two damaged souls manage to see the good
in each other . . . and maybe more?
“Shelton’s
warm, sentimental love story is told with a tenderness of
heart and a nurturing eye.” –Romantic
Times
“Quite wonderful. . . . Like Anne Tyler,
Shelton seems to possess a nearly boundless capacity for
empathy. She has the ability to make us love her characters
for their faults, not in spite of them.” –Connecticut
