About this ebook

He's coming up on her blind side

How can Shelby Hawkley forgive Gage Jamero for bailing on her when she needed him most? He and her husband, Nick, were the best part of her life. Now her former best friend is back, shaking up the widowed wine harvester's world. The safest bet is to protect herself. Except Gage is awakening feelings that are decidedly unfriend-like.

Shelby is the woman Gage has secretly loved since high school. Starting over—together—could be the best dream he's ever had. If only he can find the courage to say what he should have said all those years ago.

Ratings and reviews

Another fabulous story in the Harmony Valley series. After two years Gage Jamero is back where he least expects to be. Back in Harmony Valley facing Shelby, the woman he has loved since high school but who was married to his now deceased best friend. Shelby is furious at Gage for deserting her when she needed him after Nick died but slowly they repair their relationship. When it starts to become more than friendship, Shelby is too afraid of loving again to really let it develop. This is a beautiful sweet romance about learning to love again through the fears and doubts. I definitely recommend this one.

About the author

Melinda grew up on an isolated sheep ranch, where mountain lions had been seen and yet she roamed unaccompanied. Being a rather optimistic, clueless of danger, sort she took to playing "what if" games that led her to become an author. She spends days trying to figure out new ways to say "He made her heart pound." That might sound boring, but the challenge keeps her mentally ahead of her 3 kids and college sweetheart husband.
