After the tragic death of her fiancé, Grace McConnell turns to the only remaining constant in her life, her work. So when she’s offered the lead position for an international restoration project, she jumps at the chance to get away from her small town, full of John’s memories.
Drew Tensley has always been a hard worker. Dedicated to his family and community, he put aside his own London career to take over the family business after his mother’s terminal diagnosis. Five years later, he’s ready to start living for himself when he literally runs into his hometown’s newest architect.
Grace quickly discovers that traveling half-way across the world was the best decision she’s ever made. Until she meets Drew, a man whose personality and lifestyle are the exact opposite of John’s, but whose face is the spitting image. Struggling with her own motivations and feelings, research uncovers secrets she isn’t ready for; secrets that could ruin her second chance for true love.
Love, Love, Love this book. Grace had dated John for 5 years when he was killed saving someone from a fire (he was a fireman) his death devastated her only after his death did she find out he planned to propose. John was her world and without him she was lost operating like a comatose robot. With the help of her friend she gets back to work and ends up in London working on restoring some of the old buildings in the area. She is finally getting on with her life and dealing with John’s death when she runs into Drew a carbon copy of her late husband at first she thinks she is seeing John because she misses him so much but as time goes by she finds that even though Drew looks alot like John he is very different in good ways. This story follows the attraction between Drew and Grace and the problems that arise from hurt feelings when Drew feels he is just a replacement for Grace’s late husband John. This was a very touching and romantic story I look forward to reading the next book about Grace’s friend Valerie.
