THE ROAD TO HOPE

Description

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.
