About the book

From the publisher

I fell in love with Rush Dawson before I realized what love was. When I was forced to go home to my small town after my father committed the worst of sins, I told myself to never look back.

Yet I couldn’t help but wonder about the one who got away.

When Rush moves from London to Ashford Creek years later, however, there is no escaping the chemistry.

And this history.

Now he’s a single father and trying his best to keep his daughter safe. His connections to my family are a surprise, but not unwelcome.

With one accidental encounter in a hidden hallway, memories come rushing back to the surface and I know I might have to risk everything and take that leap.

Only someone doesn’t want us to be together and if we’re not careful, family secrets could take away our choices before we even get a chance.

Patience is small town, single dad, right person, wrong time romance in the Ashford Creek series featuring Teagan and Rush. Each book can be read as a complete standalone. A HEA is guaranteed!
