'Trina Farrady is coming home, although she doesn’t know if the small town of Hope Springs is still home. After nine months on the other side of the world to heal her broken heart, the time has come to face her past and maybe, just maybe, she can finally get over the man who broke her heart. She even has a speech prepared for when she will inevitably run into him…she just wasn’t supposed to run into him before she’d even stepped out of the airport.

'Tony Sharp knew he’d see Trina again one day, but he hadn’t expected it to be this day. He wasn’t ready and despite trying to convince himself otherwise, he wasn’t over her either. Seeing her again proves just how not over her he is and maybe, just maybe, she’s not over him yet either.

'Is it time for the two of them to find closure? Or is this a sign that they should try again and maybe finally get their happily ever after?'

'Sutton Sharp’s life was perfectly fine, thank you very much. Maybe the entire town of Hope Springs treated her like a kid, but was it really that bad if people looked out for her?

'Okay, so maybe she could do without walking in on her brother and his girlfriend doing it on every available surface in the house she shared with them, but apart from that inconvenience (and frankly disturbing image) her life was great.

'She certainly didn’t need her brother’s best friend riding in on a white horse to offer her a place to live where she wouldn’t be constantly confronted with her brother’s bare backside. She had her own plans…and she had a secret that would be impossible to keep if she moved into Daniel’s place.

'Daniel Forster had only ever thought of Sutton as Tony’s annoying little sister…okay, there was that one time at the B&S ball where he kissed her, but that was just to shut her up. She’d been arguing with him at them time and he couldn’t think of another way to make her be quiet. That was his story and he was sticking to it.

'Asking her to move in with him had come as a shock not only to her, but to him as well. Yes, he needed a new housemate to cover his mortgage payments, but Sutton was the last person he wanted to give an up close and personal look at his life…especially not after the incident in the warehouse behind the hardware store.

'Despite both of their aversions to living together, neither of them had any other choice. But it was only temporary and they both agreed they could do temporary. Neither one of them was prepared for what being ‘up close and personal’ would do to their relationship.'

'After Scarlett Morgan—aka pop star Ruby—collapses on stage, she doubts whether she will ever be able to sing again. So she heads to the small town of Hope Springs—her safe place, the place where she found her voice all those years ago—in the hope of saving her career. Scarlett doesn't even know who she would be if she could no longer be Ruby.

'Archer Paterson recognised Scarlett the moment he saw her. He’d been following her career for years and he knew that behind the wig and the makeup was the same girl who’d won the Hope Springs talent quest all those years ago. But the last thing he expected was for her to pretend that she wasn’t the mega-popular recording star everyone knew as Ruby. He went along with it, because why not? She wanted to be incognito and he didn’t want the status quo of his small town to be disrupted by a horde of media.

'But then things got complicated.'
