"Tait offers an auspicious and cute premise, a scorchingly hot romance, and a highly original setting." - The Booklife Prize
Nancy's having a hard time. Her career trajectory has flatlined, she’s just been jilted for a prettier, more limber girl-woman, and her car is starting to look like an attractive housing option.
But Nancy has a secret weapon. Desperation.
Determined to make a fresh start (one that on no account features men of the falling-in-love-with variety), she purchases a rural property on a whim at the foot of a mountain range and attempts to settle into country life.
She finds the vista of the mountains healing. She also finds a tall, dark, and gumbooted stranger (who proves to be therapeutic in other ways).
But when she discovers her precious view is about to be taken away by a housing development, Nancy faces a hard choice. Should she play saboteur to protect her own happiness, even if it means losing the sexy-kneed man who just might possibly be the key to it?
Maybe her fresh start is actually a false start. Or maybe she’s learning a thing or two about how to be a kick-ass, rule-bending woman.

Apie autorių
MERREN TAIT didn’t know she had a writer lurking in her, but after studying literature, teaching literature, and sharing the love of it as a librarian, she figures it had only been a matter of time before the author within burst out. The Year of the Fox, her debut novel, is what happened after a year of feverish writing in her spare time.
Merren lives in a small house on a large piece of land near Raglan, New Zealand where she dreams up fabulous names for her chickens. Like Princess Layer.
