Vic Hayes is content with life in Whispering Cove. She owns a successful salon, has great friends and her perfectly manicured nail is on the pulse of the townβs gossip. For real happiness, sheβs only missing one thingβa man. Settling for less than the perfect man, though, isnβt in her nature. He just has to see her as more than his best friend.
Widower Hauk Michaelsen always dreamed of escaping Whispering Cove, until single fatherhood, too young, made it impossible. He enjoys his life as owner of the small town pub. Friends, gossip, and his young daughter keep things jumping. He would do anything for his little girl, but he canβt give her the one thing she desires mostβa mother.
When Vic and Hauk are teamed up for a Fall Festival project, sparks ignite suppressed flames. Testing boundaries theyβve never crossed, they find themselves eager to risk moreβif Vic can convince Hauk that history wonβt be repeated if he takes another chance on love.
Warning: To all the lonely guys out there: beware best (girl)friends and invites for coffee at the crack of dawn. Itβs possibly not your double shot mocha latte sheβs looking to wrap her hands or her lips around.
