Halfway Home

A fresh, easy-read, contemporary romance for those looking for a fun, emotional, sexy escape! She's putting down roots. He's chasing adventure. Neither planned on the other. Everyone has left, and Meg is putting down roots for herself. Still in her thirties, and with a lot of life ahead, she's quit her job and bought a crumbling villa with "potential" and an overgrown garden. She's building a new life from the ground up, literally, and is determined to turn her long-held dream into reality: a café at her front gate, across the road from the sea. Her daughter is spreading her wings. Her parents are gone. And love? Not on the cards. Meg has had her fill of people who leave! Enter Scott Reid. Ex-rugby star. Charismatic. Famous. Annoyingly attractive. And planning to be gone again in a matter of weeks. The recently retired captain of the Scottish rugby team has flown back to New Zealand just long enough to drop his daughter at university and play one last game. He's not ready to give up the spotlight, or to settle down. Falling for someone? Definitely not part of the plan. But unexpected shared quarters and an undeniable spark have Meg and Scott facing the heartbreaks they've carried too long. With a chemistry they can't ignore… is the greatest risk walking away? A four-hour read with heart and heat, about carving out new chapters in life.
