Dalton and Haven were childhood sweethearts who parted when Haven left their home town of Esperance to further her modelling career.
Now she's back home, in mourning after the sudden death of her high profile boyfriend and hiding from the paparazzi.
Deciding to stay awhile, she tries to deny her feelings for her blue eyed, gorgeous farmer ex-boyfriend, and tries even harder not to fall in love with his adorable toddler, Amelia.
Their past was incredible. Can they make a future together as they were destined to do?
After the death of his wife, Dalton vowed he needed only one female in his life - his angelic daughter. He thought he’d lost Haven forever. Now she’s back and he can’t help but fall in love again with his stunning ex-girlfriend.
Some loves are meant to be.
Sometimes, hope is all there is when tragedy occurs.
Some people will find love despite the odds.
Sometimes, your heart doesn’t forget its first love.
A stalker, an arsonist, and a kidnapper all contrive to tear them apart.
Can they make their happily ever after this time, or are their worlds too different?
A supermodel and a small town farmer.
A love lost but never forgotten.
Can they find it again,
and
should they?

To my offspring.
Who may finally read one of my books.
Dream big.
Huge thanks to you, my readers. Without your support I wouldn’t be writing at all. If nobody was interested I’d just be a writer without readers, so for that I thank you so much!
A big thank you to my beta readers for their ongoing support and helpful suggestions. Believe me I take them all on board and act on them.
My editor Karen Harper did an amazing job with my messy words and I owe her a huge debt of gratitude for taking on the job.
As usual I need to thank my incredible cover designer. Tracey from Soxsational Cover Art. If you need a cover, go see my girl. Don’t know what I’d do without you Tracey.
My family and friends for putting up with me while I was writing. Marg for her support with the story and yes Haven should have been called “Lucky”!
My sister Julie for her suggestions and free advertising. Lynda for pushing me for more of the story while her ankle healed. It worked B1. I pulled my finger out and did it!
I have found the best book formatters ever and I need to thank them once again for the best looking book around.
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
Lilly
