Somewhere Only We Know - (Oaks Sisters) by Jillian Meadows (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

One night, two strangers share an incredible kiss, expecting to never see each other again--only to be thrown together as coworkers six months later in this swoon-worthy contemporary romance from the bestselling author of Give Me Butterflies and No Place Like You.

When Tessa Oaks gets her first assignment for her new position at World Tour Magazine, she knows it's her chance to get her life back on track. So what if she's newly unengaged and pivoting careers in her 30s? She has the plan all laid out; she just needs to keep her mind focused and her feet on the right path. But that path has other ideas--because it leads her straight to the sexy, mysterious stranger she once shared an unforgettable kiss with.

Beckett Fletcher is in disbelief that he actually landed the national parks job he desperately wanted. After moving his son across the country to the charming town of Fern River, he's trying to adjust to his position and prove to himself that this move was the right one. But when the beautiful woman he met six months ago suddenly appears in his office and he's tasked with escorting her around the park, his world turns upside down.

As Tessa and Beckett wander the beautiful winding trails and watch Fern River burst into bloom, they do their best to ignore their attraction. There's no way for their fling to become a real relationship: Tessa is moving back to Chicago when her assignment is done, and single dad Beckett has his son to think of. They can't slip up...but it's tough when chilly evenings in one tent give way to simmering heat. And after all, what's the harm in one more kiss?
