Private enquiry agents hired by Lord Ashbury, have searched to no avail, yet something inside Anjou refuses to believe her husband is dead.

You can't go too far when you're fighting for love.... Tamra Day swore off men a long time ago. Her art, her friends, and her garden have always been enough...until now. Suddenly Tamra is aching for a connection. Unfortunately, Coral Cove's most eligible bachelor is the troublemaker who's building the mini-golf course she's designing. Brusque and sarcastic, he's made a habit of annoying Tamra. But more infuriating is the fact that Tamra can't help noticing how sexy he is. They call him a war hero, but Jeremy Sheridan knows better. Still haunted by painful memories from Afghanistan, he's just hoping for a fresh start. So far the only problem is his new boss, Tamra, a control freak who's easy on the eyes - and way too fun to tease. Despite their differences, Tamra and Jeremy aren't as alone as they think they are. And together, with a little Coral Cove magic, they'll discover how good it feels to embrace a bright new future. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Hillary Huber.
