Polly Carmichael has a secret, one shared by her two aunts and all the women of her line, and it means that marriage is not an option for her. Adam Finlay left the vet practice he was working for when cost cutting led to animals suffering. He would love to open a one-man practice of his own, but all his savings went to his ex wife in her battle against cancer. He's still getting over the divorce, and he doesn't have anything to offer a woman at the moment anyway.

Adam's sister has set him up in a rental house in the small seaside town of Kauri Bay, not far from the family farm, and Adam soon notices Polly, the manager of the Beach Front Cafe. Polly knows she can't get interested in the handsome young vet, she really mustn't, but her heart flutters every time he's near her.

The two young people find themselves in an impossible situation – or is it? Not when help comes from unexpected places. A clean and wholesome romance set in an inspirational community.

This book was first published at Amazon (until their author support did crazy things once too often). It had an average rating of 4.2/5.0 from 756 reviews when my books were unpublished there in early 2025. A Bridge Between Hearts is the first of six books in the Kauri Bay series, and the rest will be available monthly as pre-orders.
