When life falls apart, can love rebuild the pieces under the Spanish sun?
She’s sworn off love, until a gorgeous stranger turns her world upside down.
Abigail’s life has unravelled - she's jobless, homeless, and heartbroken in the blink of an eye. Seeking refuge with her Aunt May in Spain, she throws herself into a fresh start in San Sebastian, swearing off men for good.
But then she meets Gabe - gorgeous, grumpy and annoyingly irresistible. He’s only around for a week, and he’s clearly hiding something. Abigail fights her growing attraction to him, but when Gabe’s secret is revealed on national television, she’s faced with a choice: risk her new life by trusting him, or let her past heartbreak keep her from taking a second chance at love.
Escape to the sublime in this heart-warming romance full of love, hope and second chances.
