Starting over and starting a whole lotta trouble...

_
_Meredith Anderson left her difficult past behind to create a new life for herself in Tall Pines - where she can be the independent, confident woman she always dreamed of being. Now she's a partner in her sister's wedding planning business, helping brides realize their happily-ever-afters...even as she promises herself to never fall in love.
Meredith's sweetness and vulnerability brings out the protective side of rancher Gage Mackenzie - even though their worlds are miles apart. All it takes is one night for desire to take hold of them both, a sizzling encounter that can only lead to the promise of more. But Meredith isn't looking for more, and even if she was, Gage is set to leave Tall Pines behind him...
Review
** "Victoria James has a gift of creating a couple to adore, with a strong, emotive writing style containing humour and with secondary characters who bring a real family feel...Gage is a protector; strong, sexy and gentle, he's a complete sweetheart, but he has his own secrets. I expected emotion, I've read enough of Victoria's books to know I'll get it, but I didn't expect it to be as deep-rooted as it was. I hurt for them, but this was balanced by so many uplifting and romantic moments.** " ~Nicola, Goodreads review** *** _
