She thought her work would help her forget; his work still haunts his nightmares. Can they leave their painful pasts behind and come home to each other’s hearts?

Agata Selvaggio left the family law firm for good reason and is now the proud owner of a thriving cafe at the heart of her village. She knows her family’s judgment is the price she’s paid for her independence, and all she wants to do is forget and move on. That’s not as easy as it sounds, especially when an unexpected stranger arrives who makes Agata want to live in the present more than ever. Can she finally forgive her family and make room in her heart for someone who cares?

Matu Samuelson is good at taking care of people, at least he was when he worked as an adventure tour guide in the New Zealand wilderness. Everything changed when a volcanic eruption turned his life upside down, and now he’s not sure he’s good at anything anymore.

So helping out a friend of a friend and a change of scene is a no brainer right?

What he hadn’t expected was Agata—resourceful and independent—so independent she’s reluctant to let him get close. Gaining her trust is something he knows he could be good at, if only she’d let him.

Will the past and the present collide to create a whole new reality for Agata and Matu?
