Two old rivals. One dream job. And a summer they’ll never forget.

Freshly heartbroken and desperate for a new start, newly qualified vet Freya Johanssen escapes Seattle for the sleepy mountain town of Whisper Falls. Her plan? Two quiet years in the country — then straight back to city life.

But when Trent Crossley shows up, Freya's carefully laid plans are blown to pieces. He’s the last person she expected—or wanted—to ever see again. She thinks he’s an arrogant party boy; he thinks she’s an uptight perfectionist. Now he’s in her clinic, and the fluttering in her stomach must mean she’s still mad at him.

Forced to work side by side in the same clinic, Freya starts to see a different side to the man she thought she knew. Falling in love was never part of her plan. And if she wants the new beginning she’s worked so hard for, can she afford to give away her heart?

A totally unputdownable feel-good read about second chances, self‑discovery, and finding home where you least expect it. Fans of Virgin River, Debbie Macomber, Jill Shalvis, and Carolyn Brown will love 'The Gable House'.
