Vic Hayes owns her own salon and is a successful businesswoman. Hauk Michaelson runs the local bar and is a widower raising a young daughter, Sophie, whilst trying to maintain his business. He is determined to be a success for his daughter and also to never fall in love again after loving and losing two women both in tragic circumstances. Vic and Hauk are best friends, she has stood by him during the good and bad periods of his life, she is terrified that admitting to her feelings for this man might ruin the perfect friendship that they have. Until they work together on the Fall festival together which effectively, with a little outside help, throws them together.There has very rarely been a novel that could make me cry. In one chapter it is steamy and straight into heart and gut wrenching in the next. Nikki captures your heart by sharing with us an essay written for a competition by Sophie, it hits the soft part in your heart, thus putting you in the position of willing the characters to explore a love that you know would be good for both of the main characters. From the moment I read the essay, with tears in my heart you find yourself wishing for them to get together and have a happy ending. After all, with all the heartache that Hauk has gone through, you turn each page hoping that things work out for him. An enjoyable read from start to finish. Looking forward to reading more from Whispering Cove.-Michelle, [...]
