Publisher Description
With her signature charm and sense of humor, bestselling author Helena Hunting creates a novel about love, family, and second chances in Make a Wish.
Ever have a defining life moment you wish you could do over? Harley Spark has one. The time she almost kissed the widowed father of the toddler she nannied for. It was so bad they moved across the state and she never saw them again.
Fast forward seven years and she’s totally over it. At least she thinks she is. Until Gavin Rhodes and his adorable now nine-year-old daughter, Peyton, reappear at a princess-themed birthday party hosted by Spark House, Harley’s family’s event hotel. Despite trying to avoid the awkwardness of the situation, she can’t help but notice how unbearably sexy he looks in a tutu. Add to that a spontaneous hives breakout, and it’s clear she’s not even remotely over the mortification of her egregious error all those years ago.
Except Gavin seems oblivious to her inner turmoil. So much so that he suggests they get together for lunch. For Peyton’s sake, of course. It’s the perfect opportunity to heal old wounds. Or it could just reopen them. This is one of those times Harley wishes she could see the future…
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A onetime nanny reunites with her former employer in Hunting's immersive third Spark House contemporary romance (after Starry-Eyed Love). While working for single father Gavin Rhodes to nanny his daughter, Peyton, Harley Spark developed quite a crush. Seven years later, she still harbors embarrassment about attempting to kiss Gavin one night—only for him to respond by abruptly moving away from Colorado Springs. Now 28 and co-running the event hotel that gives the series its name, Harley's shocked when Gavin and an almost nine-year-old Peyton turn up at Spark House for a birthday party. Gavin's back in the area to help run his family business and asks Harley out to lunch with him and Peyton to reconnect. Sparks fly, and the pair decide to try dating—but Gavin's still grieving his wife, who died in childbirth, and feels guilty about moving on. Complicating matters even further is his former mother-in-law's intense dislike of Harley. Will they be able to make it work with the specters of the past hovering over them? Harley's genuine joy at being around children—and her affection for Peyton in particular—adds to her appeal, and the slow-burning romance between her and Gavin keeps the pages flying. Readers looking for a fast-paced story about love after loss should snap this up.
