As Maria accepts being a newly single expat teacher in Thailand, she can't forget the passionate kiss she shared with her hot neighbour. Mitch, who would sooner move back to his boring tiny American hometown than commit to a relationship, is drawn to his friendship with Maria. Tom shares her dream of finding love and raising a family, but can he evoke the feelings in her that Mitch has? When faced with passion and potential heartbreak or safety and shared values, Maria must choose which risk is most worthwhile.

This is Book 2 in the More to Life series. It can be read as a stand-alone or as part of the series.
