About the book
It was a struggle she had to win!
For Lauren, keeping her holiday lodge in California's Cascade Mountains a profitable business was becoming close to impossible. Yet somehow for her small son's sake she had to keep a roof over their heads.
Then John Smith came along, handyman extraordinaire. Drifting in out of nowhere, he seemed to be the answer to her prayers.
Yet what was the good, Lauren told herself, of learning to depend on John. He might drift away as quietly as he'd come. And somehow that was something Lauren didn't want to think about.
