'Evocative, emotional and heart-stoppingly romantic' Cathy Bramley The one that she wants...
Adam Bowers; handsome, funny and with the charm of a rock star, from the moment she laid eyes on him, teenage Erin was smitten. But first loves don't always last, and after a whirlwind romance, Erin and Adam go their separate ways. Yet, Erin never lets go of the feeling that Adam may have been her soul mate...

Solid, trustworthy and hopelessly devoted to Erin, he knows he's better for her than the feckless Adam, who is forever leaving Erin broken-hearted, before winning her back with his charm. As far as Greg is concerned, it's easy to promise the world, but it's harder to love someone for a lifetime.
The one that got away...Years later Greg and Erin are married, and although life hasn't always been easy, Greg's love for Erin has never dimmed. But when Adam comes back, in desperate need of Erin's help, everything changes. Erin starts to wonder whether fate is trying to tell her something...
Will Erin risk it all for the man she had thought was 'The One'?
