Must they always be continents apart?
Nobody expects Paris fashion designer Grace Railton to settle down in her Indiana town, least of all Mica Barzonni. Fifteen months ago, he turned to her for comfort and compassion following a farming accident that left him permanently injured. Then she returned to France and went silent on him.
Until, suddenly, Grace shows up on his doorstep with life-altering news. Mica, a father? He’s barely learned to navigate his postaccident life. But this could be his chance to become the man he’s always wanted to be—the husband and father Grace and their baby son need. Now Mica just has to convince her to stay.
A delightfully sweet story of never settling for less than “the one”! A surprise arrival leads to life altering news! Mica had been afloat trying to put the pieces of his life back together when a short-lived visit from his old friend Grace gave him a lot to think about before she returned to Paris. Now she’s suddenly back with a change that will knock him for a loop! The characters were easy to connect with, and the plot had me hoping she would be able to get it through his hard head that she could love him regardless of what he believed of himself! Always a joy to visit Catherine Lanigan’s fictional world of Indian Lake!
Grace Railton has been crushing on Mica Barzonni every time she’s in the same town as him since she was 16 years old. When she passes back through Indian Lake to help out her Aunt, she reconnects with him and the spark is till there. A short lived tryst keeps her adoration alive as she heads back to her life as a fashion designer in Paris.
Mica Barzonni hasn’t fully recovered from a farming accident that put him out of commission. He’s still not sure what he wants to do with his life, but having Grace show back up in town with a baby in tow is sure to rock his foundation! She didn’t even tell him she was pregnant, and now she shows up with a 6 month old son and hands him over to him? How can he convince her that he can be the man to step up and be the husband and father she and their son need when he’s not sure he can accomplish anything with his life even on his own?
