Her body, her sweetness, her secrets.And that's not on the table.Not this summer.Not ever.If I want to make the sweetest woman I've ever met feel safe, I might have to let her go, even though it tears me up inside to think of her never looking back to see just how much I need to claim her little family as mine, forever. Zoe York lives in London, Ontario with her young family. She has an English degree and works at a university, so it was probably a foregone conclusion that she'd write a romance novel one day. What Once Was Perfect is her debut novel.
