Eva left to make her dream life as a country singer in Nashville years ago, but when her father is dying from cancer and her brother is in jail, she has no choice but to return home to Auckland and look after him his remaining days. She has no real good memories growing up, her family always lacking for money and affection. Music has always been her salvation, and is again now. Even as she spends her days mucking through her father's years of hoarding and keeping him cleaned and fed, she finds solace in singing her heart out at night with her old band mates at her friend's coffee house, Sweet Seduction.
That is where she first sees Nick again. Eight years ago he spoiled her for every other guy who came after, with only one night together. But he has his arm around her friend Gen, so he must be her new fiancé.
Nick knew eight years ago that his Angel was special, but she needed to fly first. Hearing her voice again after all these years was like a punch to the gut. But Eva gives Nick the cold shoulder, not wanting to let on how much it hurts to see him engaged to someone else.
Nick now owns and operates Anscombe Security and Investigations and has built himself a good life, and when he finds out Eva is back in town, he immediately adds her to the list of people his company keeps safe. And she needs safekeeping......her four cousins are proving to be even more of a threat than they were when they where young.
Needless to say that when her past is catching up, a jilted lover comes calling, her favourite guitar is destroyed, her dad kidnapped and the love of her life is shot, Eva is running back to Nashville as fast as she can, that is.........if Nick will let her get away!
Oh how. I love this series!!!! I wish there already were 10 books written, I'd devour them all!
Eva may be damaged, but not helpless or completely broken.....there is a steel core there and she is mostly afraid of her heart being broken (who isn't??). She's a scrapper and I can identify with that.
Nick is just.......delicious. Not infallible, but protective (swoon) and he knows what he wants and goes for it! Maybe I should move to NZ???
