Publisher Description
Love can work miracles over grief…
Finn Kelly happily takes tourists on hikes across the beautiful, rugged wilderness he calls home. Hiking doesn’t involve much interacting, and that’s just how he likes it. When sunshiny jewelry designer Bethany Grant moves into town and proceeds to involve herself in every aspect of his life, he starts to find himself thinking maybe he could use a friend. Or, if he dares to risk it—something more.
Bethany is drawn to dark, brooding Finn. She’s an optimist and a fixer, and now she wants to fix him. But Bethany has her own grief to lay to rest.
How will this unlikely pair come to terms with the darkness in their pasts in order to see the bright future that could lie ahead?

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this touching contemporary set against the lush, sensual backdrop of Brightwater Valley, New Zealand, wilderness guide and grieving widower Finn Kelly—the younger brother of Chase from Ashenden's Find Your Way Home—fights against the charms of sweet and sexy Beth Grant, a new-to-town American jewelry designer. Beth, determined to start fresh after a miscarriage, postpartum depression, and abandonment by her ex, insists on keeping a positive attitude and being friends with everyone, including gorgeous, taciturn Finn—who just wishes the falsely chipper woman would leave him alone. Even Finn can't deny their mutual attraction, however, and they agree to a one-night stand, acknowledging that neither feels emotionally available for a relationship. Everything changes when Beth winds up pregnant, bringing out the protector in Finn, who offers her a home, a support system, marriage, and even regular sex—just as long as she knows that he'll never fall in love. Beth is used to settling for what she can get, but will living in the shadow of Finn's late wife really be enough for her? Ashenden skillfully balances tender sex scenes with the hard emotional work necessary for genuine intimacy. Fortunately, the Brightwater Valley community offers abundant support as the protagonists weigh whether to risk their hearts again. Readers will be transported.
