A totally gorgeous, age-gap, rural romance, perfect for fans of Virgin River, Rachel Hanna and Debbie Macomber, BRAND NEW from million-copy bestselling author, Kate Hewitt

Every book in the Starr's Fall series can be listened to as a standalone

As the weather warms up, everyone in Starr's Fall has one thing on their minds… ice cream. And Zoe Wilkinson is the person to help them out. Running the town's only ice cream shop—The Latest Scoop—she should be the most popular person in town, at least every day that the sun's shining.

But, in spite of growing up in Starr's Fall, Zoe has reached the age of twenty-eight without letting anyone deeply into her life. Her wild teenage years seem to be all anyone remembers, perhaps not helped by her spiky pink hair, and sometimes even spikier attitude.

That is, until fourteen-year-old Sophie comes into her store, and tries to steal something. Zoe calls her out, only to attract the ire of Sophie's furious father, Dan Bryant—a surprisingly sexy middle-aged dad who Zoe would probably develop a huge crush on, if he wasn't busy defending his daughter.

When she gets home to realise Sophie and Dan are in fact also her new neighbours, she knows she has to make nice. Besides, she can't help but see a bit of her own teenage tearaway self in sulky Sophie.

But, as the summer sun blazes overhead, will letting a lost teenage girl and a man who gives her butterflies into her life be enough to warm up Zoe's frozen, frightened heart?
