Honeysuckle Lane (The Valentine Nook Chronicles #3)

Hendricks, Lord Burlington, answers to several names.

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.

But to Story MacIntosh, he’s the one who got away.

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. And their relationship changes once again.

Both of them are determined to make up for their mistakes, but when baggage from Hendricks’s past resurfaces they have to decide once and for all what they want their future to look like.

And whether this time around they’re stronger together than apart.
