Be prepared to read this book in one sitting. The characters and story drag you in and don't let go. But also be prepared to tear up, there are some tissue worthy moments.This is a fantastic story of a father who needs a wife to gain custody of his son, one he hardly knows but is desperate to connect with. What really tugged at my heart is the fact that his son Jonty lives with selective mutism.  The author handled it with extreme sensitivity and compassion.How Cy our hero,  deals with his need to help his son in any way possible and his renewed growing attraction for the heroine Ellie, the girl he knew and ran away from when they were younger, is heartwarming, heartbreaking and truly wonderful.Ellie who is now a successful business woman, can't say no to Cy when he asks for a huge favour. After all he's been hiding her secret for years. But she didn't expect to fall in love with Jonty, and maybe fall back in love with Cy. I mean who wouldn't when you see him with his son.But what starts out as a proposed marriage of convenience, has the potential to become the real thing.  Because the heart wants what the heart wants regardless of what obstacles appear in the path to true love.The author pulls at your heartstrings with this novel and I will be looking for more from her.This ARC was supplied by the publisher for an honest review.
