About this ebook
Scott Standish has been a rambling man since his mother got sick way back when he was eighteen. Unable to watch her die, he left home after graduation and kept roaming. But when he goes home to Harkness, New Brunswick for a Thanksgiving visit, he discovers he’s got a stowaway—ten-year-old Sid the Kid, his sidekick from the job he just left. For once, moving on had been hard, and not just because of Sid. The attraction between him and Sid’s mother, chef April Morgan, is electric. But she’s a single mom needing stability, and he plans to keep moving.
When April comes to Harkness to retrieve Sid, she does so in a car packed with all her worldly possessions, having been fired from her position over her daughter’s behavior. When Scott realizes her predicament, he offers her domestic employment.
With no place to go and no one to turn to, April and Sidney make a home at the Standish farm. Her daughter is thrilled, rapidly becoming attached to the dog and the family despite April’s reminders that it’s only temporary. Scott Standish might be tied to the farm for a few months, but she knows he’ll settle nowhere, least of all in Harkness. April can’t afford to take a chance with her heart, or her daughter’s. So she has no choice but to fight the yearning that grows stronger inside her every day.

Loved this story!! Scott and April were great characters but April's young daughter Sidney stole my heart! Scott has suffered a lot of loss in his life. First his biological parents then his adopted mother. He couldn't take it anymore and took off. He's been roaming ever since. Never staying anywhere too long, always being careful not to get attached. Even he admits though the time he spent in Montreal with April and Sid the Kid was different but he has to get back Harkness and help out on his family's farm. He can't believe it when he arrives home only to find Sidney has stowed away in the back of his truck for the entire trip! When April arrives to pick her up with everything they own packed in her car he knows he can't just let her go. You definitely want to grab this one and find out how their story goes. I highly recommend it.

I received this book/arc for a honest review. Please keep the tissues handy. I love Scott and April's story and little Lady Bug. He can't settle down and she needs someone stable in her and her daughter's life. I am glad they have their HEA. You don't want to miss this book. If you haven't read the first 2 you don't need to but it would be good to understand the background.
