Story
Sully McCoy has spent the last twenty years distancing himself from his father's reputation and has made a good life for himself and his daughter in Rockne Heads. Yet now Alex Kelly is back in town and somehow still turning his life upside down. He thought he'd never see her again. And Alex is making it perfectly clear that she's not here to relive old memories—she's here to end them once and for all.
Publisher's Summary
Bestselling author Rachael Johns takes you back to Hope Junction and the characters from Jilted.
Nurse Lauren Simpson is known in Hope Junction for the wrong reasons—and she's over it. Watching the man she's always loved marry someone else is the last straw—she decides to get out of Hope. But her resolve is tested when the hot new locum doctor arrives in town.
Doctor Tom Lewis also has skeletons in his closet—including a painful breakup and devastating family news. He's hit the road with his vintage ute and surfboard, to travel the outback and live in the moment.
When Tom and Lauren meet the attraction is instant, but for Lauren Tom threatens to be just another fling, and Tom has his own reasons for hesitating. Everyone else—their friends and patients—can see how perfect they are together, but just what will it take for them to admit this to themselves?
A brand new Hope Junction story of fresh starts and second chances.

My least favourite Rachel Johns book
While I liked the idea of hearing Lauren’s story after Jilted, the sex scenes were a bit of the top and took away from the plot. It felt like these scenes were used to fill in blanks that the author didn’t know how fill any other way.

Badly read
I disliked the narrator and will not listen to any more books read by her. Her voice is unfeeling and flat, and I could loudly hear every breath she took.
