Available digitally for the first time. A woman’s new neighbor makes a bad—yet unforgettable—first impression in a story of unexpected passion from #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts. After a four-year absence, Shane Abbott returns to her rural Maryland hometown to find that not much has changed, except she now has a new neighbor—a rather ill-mannered and unfriendly one. Vance Banning isn’t the unemployed carpenter he lets Shane think he is. He’s a man looking for some peace and quiet—away from work, away from the city and away from women. Only Shane doesn’t fit into his plans, not her wholesome beauty, her kindness, or the way she brings hope back into his life… Includes a preview of The Perfect Hope.
