Yet, not long after they’ve settled, he finds himself toe-to-toe with a stubborn, fiery tempered woman with pretty brown eyes.
Once a recluse preferring to live alone.
Working with troubled adolescents, Frederique Marchand doesn’t suffer fools and won’t put up with bullies. Especially handsome strangers like Newt who think they can run roughshod over her. She loves her work, but on her own time she much prefers the company of her menagerie of animals.

5 Stars
Ms Barkers will have you all relaxed in the picturesque small town lakeside of Northern Ontario, the makings of a great lazy afternoon read.
Small town and beauty was the draw for our Alpha single dad Newt, retiring and leaving their fast paced city life behind hoping the change would be beneficial for his struggling teen daughter. A solid father, daughter relationship can be difficult when she seems so lost and scared with life, struggling to understand her emotions. Watching this big strong man, bend and do everything he can for his daughter is swoon worthy. Seeking outside help leads Newt straight to Freddy Marchand, whom has already caught his attention a time or two.
Freddy is a fiery woman, determined to stand on her own doing the things she loves as she wants. Helping troubled teens in both conventional and unconventional ways. Her brood of animals are her family and solace, they keep her grounded when life gets to be to trying. She was content with her life, but the more time she spends with Newt and his sweetheart of a daughter Millie, she just might be wishing for more.
Be ready for then emotional rollercoaster of sadness, fear of loss and unexpected love that Ms Barker is about to sending you riding. Superb secondary characters that help round the story out and make you want more, searching the pages for answers and finding the HEA at the end.
