NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER In this sexy and emotional romance from the acclaimed author of Out of the Woods and Out on a Limb, a small-town womans journey to spread her wings intertwines with the arrival of an adventurous newcomer who brings out the best in her.

Prudence Welch has found solace in her introverted life in Baysville, a charming tourist town in Northern Ontario. Despite once dreaming of a life beyond its borders, she now finds contentment in her routines: working at her fathers gas station, writing poetry, and caring for her mother, who was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimers disease shortly after Prues nineteenth birthday. But as her mothers condition worsens and her fathers concerns about her own future intensify, Prue feels her world slipping further out of control.

Enter Milo Kablukov, an enigmatic wanderer whose beat-up van covered with ill-advised bumper stickers rolls into town just when Prue needs a change. Its all too easy to let go with him, and Prue cant help but strike up an unlikely friendship with Milo, which leads to a wild and sexy agreement between them.

Milo, a man of many adventures and countless stories, is not one to settle down. However, his brothers urgent need for help has brought him to Baysville, and now the intriguing Prue has given him more reason to stayespecially once they start spending more time together, their chemistry intensifying, and casual-sex lessons begin at Prues request.

But as their temporary arrangement blossoms into something deeper, Prue and Milo discover that getting out of their comfort zones is one thing . . . taking that leap together is something else entirely.
