Honeysuckle Lane: A single dad, small town romance (The Valentine Nook Chronicles)

Hen to his siblings, daddy to his five-year-old son, My Lord to strangers and ‘The Vet’ to all the animals he looks after. Formerly best friends for life, everything changed six years ago, and Hendricks was relegated to nothing more than a memory for Story. But when her past catches up with her present, she finds herself back in the village where they both grew up. For Hendricks, Story returning to Valentine Nook brings back equally painful memories, ones he tries his hardest to ignore while being the best father he can to Max. Something made all the more impossible when Story becomes Max’s substitute school teacher. No matter how hard they try, seeing each other is unavoidable. Then the Valentine Nook Valentine Fair is announced, and they’re both nominated for the committee. Soon they’re working together - as friends - but with all the love in the air it doesn’t take long before the lines blur.
