Description
January Wild loves her daughter, her dog Spud, and her childhood home by the sea. Single parenting is tough, but January has no regrets. She has a job she adores, a happy home, and the support of her beloved grandfather. However, the arrival of a new boss threatens to shake up January's safe world.
Ward Metcalfe loves great sales results and a well-run office. Everyone at the office agrees: Ward is a soulless, corporate slave driver. Even Spud, the company mascot, dislikes him. Yet over time, January sees there is more to Ward than meets the eye. Rumours circulate. What exactly is he hiding? Is there a secret standing between them? And is January prepared to risk everything to find out?
The Things We Do For Love by Alice Peterson explores themes of love, family, and the courage it takes to follow your heart.
