Was making him smile again ... enough? Very few people can keep up with Eva Stamford. She's chatty, volunteers all over the community, and has one passion in life-saving the Lumholtz tree kangaroo before the curse comes true. Jack Waller, broody, gruff and man of few words, couldn't be more different. He's returning to his childhood home to make good on a promise made long ago. He doesn't want attention. He definitely doesn't want complications. But Eva? She's everywhere he turns and impossible to ignore. The more time they spend together, the more the sparks fly. Jack is learning fast, it's the whole Eva package, including her tree kangaroos, or nothing. Eva knows better than to fall for someone who could unravel everything she's worked so hard for, especially someone who owns the land bordering her sanctuary. But when a wild storm hits and long-held truths come to light, her worst fear is finally realised. This time, she'll fight fate itself to save the man she's come to love-because she's not leaving until Jack stops hurting. When the skies clear, is there a chance to break the curse and build a life together? Or is this destined to be a train wreck-with a bunch of furry animals caught in the middle?
