About this ebook

 Jake Cooper has built homes for families in Laguna Beach for years, watching others make their dreams come true. Now it’s his turn to settle down, or so he thought. When his long-time girlfriend breaks up with him, he’s left with the perfect family home, just without the family.
Erin Johnson grew up with very few possessions, the glamorous lives of her high school classmates out of reach. Right as she prepared to start her life, a family tragedy forces her to derail her plans. Ten years later, with her college diploma in hand, Erin’s ready for adventure and freedom from responsibility.

When she meets Jake, she questions everything she thought she wanted. 

Is it possible to build new dreams when the right person comes along?

Ratings and reviews

A promising premise, yet a bit rough around the edges. Characters a little unbelievable in their "sweetness," but likable. Predictable turmoil through assumptions, but finally there's relief in the sensible solution that should have been at least entertained earlier on by the protagonist. The story would also benefit from a cleaner edit.

Best novel i read in a very long time and it touched my heart and emotion

Sweet, romantic and wholesome!! A beautiful love story.
