When her daughter Franca - Frances - arrived, she was surly, didn't want to be there and scared Jax Brown half to death. Jax had been "persuaded" to hand her baby to the child's father when she was a naive seventeen year old. She had been told to keep out of her life, and though heartbroken, Jax had done as asked, thinking it was in Frances' best interests. But now the poor child - thirteen years old - was no longer wanted by her father and step-mother. What a terrible young life she had had.

This is the story of three fabulous people Jaxine Brown café owner and lover of animals, and Detective Senior Sergeant Jack Maxwell want to be lover of Jax and Frances thirteen year old daughter of Jax who has just arrived in the small outback town of Mt Maria to start a new life with a lot of issues to sort out. Make yourself comfortable for this one I loved it.

Jaxine is doing well in MT Maria she loves her café and the animals that she cares for but life for Jax is about to change when the daughter that she had at seventeen and was coerced into giving up has now arrived to live with her, Frances has been through a lot in her short life and is not very trusting to begin with and then to have Jack Maxwell the one man that Jax thought something of a year ago has arrived in town as well to take over the being in charge of the police station, Jax is in for a journey and a half.

Jack has arrive doing undercover work chasing drug traffickers and he also wants to talk to Jax the woman that he has never forgotten and this time he is determined to explain what happened a year ago because he wants her so badly she is the place in his heart, but of course things never run smoothly where true love is concerned firstly her beautiful daughter Frances arrives and there is vandalism and animal stealing going on and danger is just around the corner.

This is a fast paced story that has everything that a romance reader would want in a story there is lots of action from criminals and the police and you are sure to be smiling with the Agatha Sisters and the help they offer the community but of course there is the romance and what a beautiful romance it is Jack is so very determined to win Jax and Frances over and to see them all so happy in the end is awesome. MS Jones has written a story that will stay with me for a while fabulous characters that add so much to the story not to mention the array of animals that you will also fall in love with. Thank you MS Jones for a fantastic story, it is moving, emotional and beautiful and one that should not be missed.
