The sweetest reunions…

Can be worth the wait

Photojournalist Patrick Brown has spent years chasing stories across the globe. Writing an article about his college girlfriend London Worthington’s honey farm brings a welcome change—and a shocking discovery. He’s a father! Now all that matters is making up for lost time. London hadn’t planned to keep four-year-old Bella a secret. But when Patrick’s determined mother forced them apart, leaving her pregnant and alone, she vowed to build her own life. Bella adores having her daddy around, and London can’t deny he still makes her heart flutter. Even if she doesn’t trust him to stay on tiny Polk Island. Can Patrick prove he’s serious about rewriting their story…with a happily-ever-after?
