Alexandra Lauren Knight has
reinvented herself in the safety of her rural New Zealand hometown to become
Lauren Taylor. She’s cut all ties with her past as a former model whose
ex-husband turned out to be ruthless in both the boardroom and the bedroom. While
Alexandra allowed other’s expectations to propel her into the spotlight, Lauren
prefers the safety of anonymity; restoring classic cars with her brother, and
snuggling with her four-year-old son.
Nate Fraser, a burned-out photojournalist, plans to fix up the property next
door to Lauren and sell it as a celebrity retreat. Always on the move, Nate is
only comfortable with short-term assignments and even shorter-term
relationships. But it’s not just his buyer’s tight deadline or that the
restoration is far beyond his expertise which turns a short-term project into
an ordeal. Nate’s plan of travelling the globe is in jeopardy—created by the
intensity of his growing feelings for Lauren and her little boy.
As the sparks of passion ignite between them it reawakens Nate’s long forgotten
dream of having a home and family. Lauren must find a way to trust Nate not
only with her secrets, but with her heart - before her safe haven is exposed
and she can no longer hide in the shadows.
