About this audiobook
A Friends to lovers romance.
Is it wishful thinking?
Delilah Brown
Sycamore Springs might be a great place to live for most people. For me, it's a nightmare. Between a horrible boss and taking care of my sick mom, there's little time for day-dreaming, but when I do manage a few minutes, sexy Sam's always there.
I know, he's great, but I can't be distracted from my responsibilities even when he pushes buttons that I thought were out of commission.
Samson Kershaw
Happy and in love—can you have one without the other? I'm trying hard to accept the possibility.
Problem 1 - I am not a couple and have no prospect of becoming one in the near future. Although there is definitely a connection between the hairdresser and me. She won't take me seriously, which is problem number 2.
Delilah's as independent as she is beautiful and completely uninterested in a real estate agent who turns into a fool around her.
5* ‚"An engaging romance with a lot of heart.‚"
5* ‚"This story is filled with heart.‚"
5* ‚"Well written with great characters.‚"

Cheryl Phipps is a USA Today Bestselling author of contemporary romance and women's fiction from beautiful Auckland, New Zealand. Married for nearly 50 years (yes, they were high school sweethearts) to her own ‘the one', and at the beck and call of a handful (or two) of grandchildren, she loves weaving sensual stories that celebrate love, family, and resilience, as well as delivering a heart-racing, happy ending, with a sprinkle of humor. When she's not writing, baking, or spending time with her family, there is just enough space for a crazy mixed breed dog who stole her heart!
