One derelict farm. Two broken hearts. And a town that can't help meddling ... A funny and heartwarming new romance from bestselling author Stella Quinn.

Single dad Luke means well. But ever since his son, Jace, had an accident, Luke's been trying to keep him safe from everything, driving Jace crazy. When a move to a dilapidated farm brings a chance at healing, Luke will take it. Even though it means fly-in-fly-out work and living with his interfering sister, Sal.

Felicity was once a fearless travel writer. Now she's home in small-town Clarence to start over, yet somehow she's become a nervous schoolteacher who avoids everyone, even her parents. Due to short-staffing, Felicity finds herself teaching science (despite not knowing what an amoeba is) as well as unexpectedly coaching tennis. (Ugh.)

But love, like a river, rarely runs without a ripple, and Felicity's past is about to cause a deluge ...

A Note From the Publisher

Stella Quinn has had a love affair with books since she first discovered the alphabet. She lives in sunny Queensland now, but has lived in England, Hong Kong and Papua New Guinea. Boarding school in a Queensland country town left Stella with a love of small towns and heritage buildings (and a fear of chenille bedspreads and meatloaf!) and that is why she loves writing rural romance. An active member of Romance Writers of Australia, Stella has won the 2025 R*BY Romantic Book of the Year award (novella), Emerald, Sapphire and Valerie Parv Awards.
