Just when you think things are finally looking up… Harley Brand, social worker and single mother, has come through some dark times but feels ready to start afresh, including renewing her relationship with the man of her dreams. Then, one pretty Perth spring morning, without warning, the worst nightmare of her life begins - someone she trusts betrays her and it looks as if her freedom may be cruelly snatched away. Broken-hearted and terrified of what the future holds, she turns to her best friend, Jessamy Lushpin, PI, who promises to fix things. Arian has returned to Australia to continue his law practice and find the woman who got away, the love of his life: Harley Brand. He's older, more mature and not the same man Harley ran from years ago. But there will still be consequences for her naughty behavior. Can they find the love they lost and begin again? Will Harley's closely guarded secret destroy them, or make them stronger? Will Arian be able to break through her walls and ensure their happily-ever-after?
