From Away

<p>Leo Chapman came to Balsam Bay for a fresh start. After years of burying himself in his work in Toronto he's ready for something quieter-something that doesn't remind him of everything he's trying to leave behind. But adjusting to small-town life isn't easy for a man who prefers the hum of a table saw to conversation.</p><p></p><p>Neve Ross doesn't have time for distractions. As an interior designer with an eye for detail and a reputation to uphold she's spent years proving herself in a town where her family still sees her career as a frivolous pursuit. She knows better than to mix business with anything personal-especially with the quiet brooding carpenter who avoids small talk like it's a job requirement.</p><p></p><p>But the more their paths cross the more Leo finds himself drawn to Neve's fire and the more Neve begins to see the quiet steadiness beneath Leo's rough edges. In a town where everyone knows your business some things are impossible to keep hidden even from yourself-like the way Leo feels when he looks at Neve or the way she starts to want more than their arrangement calls for.</p><p></p><p>As their connection grows will Leo find the courage to let someone in or will his fears keep him from the kind of home he never knew he needed?</p>
