Falling: a love story--------pan macmillan
Eight years ago, Emma Montague left behind the strict confines of
her upper- crust English life - and rather dull boyfriend - and moved
to New York City, where she immediately found success in the world of
finance. But her soulless, cut-throat, all-consuming job has only led
to another life she didn't want.
Answering an online ad, Emma finds a tiny beach cottage to rent in the
small town of Westport, Connecticut. It needs work - lots of work. But
it's the perfect project to satisfy Emma's passion for interior
design and gardening, if her new landlord, Dominic, is agreeable to the
small changes she yearns to make.
To Emma, Dominic is also something of a fixer-upper. A local handyman
with a six-year-old son, he's a world away from the men she should be
interested in, but he's comfortable in his own skin, confident, quiet
and kind. Slowly, over a shared garden, time spent with his son and
late-night conversations, Emma finds herself falling for Dominic.
From friends to lovers happens as naturally as the changing seasons. But
laying down roots doesn't come easily when two lives as different
as theirs merge into one. And Emma will realize that the seeds of
happiness must be nurtured and cherished to grow into something strong
enough to shelter all their hopes and dreams
