Descrip­tions

Pour sauver son enfant, Charlie, d'une grave maladie cardiaque, Bree n'a reculé devant aucun sacrifice. Rejetée par sa famille et sans ressources, elle est même allée jusqu'à ruiner sa réputation en acceptant un job d'hôtesse dans un bar. Aujourd'hui, ce passé secret semble enfin derrière elle : Charlie est guéri et Bree s'épanouit dans un vrai travail. Un équilibre que la jeune femme préserve envers et contre tout. Aussi avance-t-elle prudemment dans sa relation toute neuve avec Parker Ellison, dont elle pressent, cependant, qu'il pourrait bien être l'homme de sa vie et un père pour Charlie. Mais alors que l'avenir paraît radieux, l'orage éclate : confrontée à son passé houleux, qui la rattrape quand elle s'y attendait le moins, Bree voit aussi revenir brusquement dans sa vie... le père de Charlie.

All Bree McInnes has to do is make it through the summer without anyone from her hometown discovering her secrets. And then she is so out of here. Because running away is what this single mom does best.

Keeping a low profile turns out to be harder than Bree thought. Especially when Professor Parker Ellison—her sexy boss and a famous orchid hunter—begins to fall in love. With her!

But between her own determination to skip town and Parker's aversion to being trapped in a "relationship," they could be over before they even start. And that's too bad, since exploring some home-style adventure could be exactly what her elusive bachelor needs.

Running away is what Bree McInnes does best. So when the single mother returns to Spruce Lake to help clean out her father's house, she plans on getting the job done and getting out again before anyone in the small town ferrets out her secrets.

Her plans are complicated, however, when she falls for her boss, a celebrity orchid hunter at the local college. Bree is appalled by her attraction to Parker Ellison, but she's having a hard time resisting him. And her defenses are demolished by Parker's kindness to her son Charlie.

Between rebuilding her relationship with her sisters and taking care of Charlie, Bree doesn't have time for a relationship. Which is fine with Parker, because he's not interested in long term. But could home and family be exactly what the world-traveling celebrity needs?
