Long Way Home by Nicola Marsh

Long Way Home

It might be cold outside, but this rural romance is all you need to warm your soul … and I suppose you can always add a cup of tea to help.

Connor Delaney is determined to prove himself and part of the plan involves acquiring the local roadhouse. He never anticipated the owner would be the same ‘bad girl’ who ditched him at the high school ball and was never heard from again. A winsome story of second chances and belonging.
