No. She couldn’t blame tiredness and power tools on that. Because before that one slip up, she’d experienced the Harley merry-go-round before. Ten years ago, to be precise. The carousel had been pretty and sparkly and spun her in dizzying circles that felt oh-so-good at the time. Then she’d fallen from it. Fallen hard enough to break her heart.
And after the stupid move of sleeping with him again five weeks ago? Like hell would she ever climb onto that hellish ride a third time.

A nine-year-old secret he never saw coming…
Bree Findlow’s ordered life just got complicated. Harley, the man who once broke her heart has moved back to Stewart Island, and her sister arrives with a boy with Harley’s eyes and artistic talent. With Harley’s dark past, he never wanted to risk a family. But what choice does he have when Bree won’t see reason? Fight hard, fight dirty. Fight to win.

Acknowledgments
As always, I’ll apologize profusely if I’ve left anyone off of this list of thanks, and attempt to cover my butt by saying I have a terrible memory! So, before the dreaded ‘Writer’s Brain’ takes over, I’d firstly like to thank my husband for all the behind the scenes work he does to keep my life as stress free as possible, and for his help with all things car-ish. Any screw-ups are mine – as you know, DH, my knowledge of cars extends to the color and possibly make (on a good day).
Also thanks to Mike G. for his invaluable knowledge of Maori culture, so far as it extends to his iwi and whanau.
Thanks to my lovely hairstylist, Racheal C. who has been hearing about Ford’s dreadlocks for well over a year now, and who kindly let me watch her work her magic and ask hundreds of questions. Again, I’ll take the blame if my character Holly screwed something up.
Thanks also to Rose Sheppard O’Toole who won my giveaway to name Holly’s quiz team name – Madame B’overies.
A big BOO-YAH and thanks to fellow author Sherilee Gray. What would I do without you my co-dependent friend? I’d never have gotten this book finished without our daily sprints and bitch-fests. You rock.
Cyber-hugs go out to my beta readers Julie-Ann, Rach, Rose, Siobhan, & Aquila editing – thank you for helping me tell a better story! And lastly, another huge hug to my Be-Amazing editor, who saves my literary ass from looking like an ass.
About the Author
Tracey Alvarez is a USA TODAY BEST-SELLING author who lives in the Coolest Little Capital in the World (a.k.a Wellington, New Zealand) where she’s yet to be buried under her to-be-read book pile by Wellington’s infamous wind—her Kindle’s a lifesaver! Married to a wonderfully supportive IT guy, she has two teens who would love to be surgically linked to their electronic devices.
Fuelled by copious amounts of coffee, she’s the author of contemporary romantic fiction set predominantly in New Zealand. Small-towns, close communities, and families are a big part of the heart-warming stories she writes. Oh, and hot, down-to-earth heroes—Kiwi men, in other words.
When she’s not writing, thinking about writing, or procrastinating about writing, Tracey can be found reading sexy books of all romance genres, nibbling on smuggled chocolate bars, or bribing her kids to take over the housework.
