About this ebook

Career-focused Jane Spencer is supposed to be on vacation. One whole week to relax and unwind at her family's home in Auckland. One whole week without any worries or cares, if only she can tear herself away from her work and the never-ending emails that seem to pile up.

 

Fortunately, there's a distraction on the other side of the fence. A distraction by the name of Toby Kahui. She hasn't seen Toby in years, not since they graduated from middle school. The connection is immediate. Compelling. Strong.

 

Will Jane conquer her fears about commitment? Will she let Toby sweep her off her feet? Is Jane willing to take a chance on the literal boy next door?

 

---

 

This is a novella featuring a white woman and a Māori man. It is a gentle and sweet story with a HEA ending.
