A totally gorgeous, age-gap, rural romance, perfect for fans of Virgin River, Rachel Hanna and Debbie Macomber, BRAND NEW from million-copy bestselling author, Kate Hewitt š¦ā¤ļøāļø
**Every book in the Starr's Fall series can be read as a standalone*. *
As the weather warms up, everyone in Starrās Fall has one thing on their minds⦠ice cream. And Zoe Wilkinson is the person to help them out. Running the townās only ice cream shopāThe Latest Scoopāshe should be the most popular person in town, at least every day that the sunās shining.
But, in spite of growing up in Starrās Fall, Zoe has reached the age of twenty-eight without letting anyone deeply into her life. Her wild teenage years seem to be all anyone remembers, perhaps not helped by her spiky pink hair, and sometimes even spikier attitude.
That is, until fourteen-year-old Sophie comes into her store, and tries to steal something. Zoe calls her out, only to attract the ire of Sophieās furious father, Dan Bryant āa surprisingly sexy middle-aged dad who Zoe would probably develop a huge crush on, if he wasnāt busy defending his daughter.
When she gets home to realise Sophie and Dan are in fact also her new neighbors, she knows she has to make nice. Besides, she canāt help but see a bit of her own teenage tearaway self in sulky Sophie.
But, as the summer sun blazes overhead, will letting a lost teenage girl and a man who gives her butterflies into her life be enough to warm up Zoeās frozen, frightened heart?
