From #1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber comes a classic story of love found where it's least expected...right next door! For weeks, Lesley Brown had been counting down the days, curious and excited about the arrival of her new neighbor. With their duplex being the only house for miles, she couldn’t help but hope the new tenant would be a friend. But when she met Cole Daniels, hope turned into something far more complicated. Cole was everything she didn’t expect—sharp-tongued, standoffish, infuriatingly cryptic. And yet, there was something about him that Lesley couldn’t ignore. Maybe it was the way he came to her rescue, then frustratingly shut her out again. Or maybe it was the secrets he so carefully guarded, secrets that practically begged to be unraveled. Was Cole running from something, or simply keeping the world—and Lesley—at arm’s length? As their lives became increasingly tangled, she began to wonder…would the truth bring them closer, or drive an unsurmountable wedge between them?
