When Alice fled London to escape her past, she thought she'd finally found peace in New Zealand—until Andrew Barrett walks into her hospital's A&E and turns her carefully ordered world upside down. The charming consultant is just as captivating as she remembers, but now there's a vulnerability beneath his smile, and the heartache she'd buried comes rushing back. Things get impossibly complicated when she discovers Andrew is her new neighbor, and his young daughter Emmy needs the kind of love and stability only Alice seems able to offer. As Alice opens her heart to help them both heal, she begins to wonder if this second chance—with the man she never quite forgot and the little girl who needs her—might be exactly what all three of them have been searching for.
