Only Love Can Hurt Like This: an unforgettable love story from the Sunday Times bestselling author

Product Information

Synopsis: Needing a fresh start and a place to heal her broken heart, Wren decides to visit her dad and stepmom on their farm in Indiana. There, she crosses paths with Anders, the son of the family who lives next door and the two begin a special friendship. As feelings start to emerge, Wren is hesitant to move forward as she’s been left behind one too many times while Anders is harboring a secret and afraid to get too close to dealing with his past. Her mother always told her to trust her instincts…but it’s hard to trust your instincts when they’re breaking your heart. 💔 Paige Toon is the bestselling author of fifteen adult novels and three young adult titles, and her books have sold almost 2 million copies worldwide. It's a picturesque story taking place in Indiana - think old houses that have been passed down generations, sunsets over corn fields, the smell, and smoke from barbecuing, and the late summer/autumn feeling when the corn and pumpkins are ready for harvesting. If you like American cutie-pie farmers then this is definitely your call. But Wren doesn’t know that Anders is harbouring a secret, and if he acts on any feelings he has for Wren it will have serious fall-out for everyone.
