Secrets and Surprises - Paperback

by Annie Seaton (Author)

Julien Johnson never planned to stay in Duckinwilla Creek until Emily Dysart followed him home.

With dreams of becoming a renowned city chef, Julien always expected to stay in the city. But when his father retires, leaving Julien to run the family store, he reluctantly agrees to stay-and unexpectedly finds himself happier as he and Emily settle into the rhythms of small-town life.

But accusations and whispers of scandal surface, threatening his newfound happiness as he untangles the truth; Julien must face the secrets of his past, prioritise his ambitions, and face the complicated dynamics of a town that never forgets.

Will his choices cost him everything he's come to love, or will they open the door to a life he never dared to dream?
