How do you pick yourself up, dust yourself off and start all over again when your life implodes? That’s partly why my heroine Hayley has a pact with her best friend to have a ‘Year of Saying Yes’—agreeing to opportunities that will make their lives happier. And going to Iceland means that she’s met someone who might just change her life for ever…

But Sam has his own issues to work through—and the way he deals with the fallout from his own life is to take risks to remind himself that he’s still alive and kicking. Which makes him the worst possible man that Hayley can fall for.

How can he teach her to trust that risk-taking won’t lead to another disaster in her life? And how can she teach him to trust that she won’t let him down the way his ex did?

I hope you enjoy their story—and definitely the romance of their wedding!

With love,

Kate Hardy

PROLOGUE

HAYLEY DID A double take as her best friend hobbled into the hospital canteen on crutches, with a full-length walking cast up to her right knee.

‘What happened, Dani?’ she asked as Danielle heaved herself into the seat opposite hers and rested the crutches against the wall so they wouldn’t be in the way of anyone else in the canteen. ‘Did you break your ankle?’

‘It’s not quite that bad—it’s a second and third metatarsal stress fracture,’ Danielle said, grimacing.

Hayley frowned. They’d been out to their usual dance aerobics class, two nights ago, and Danielle had seemed fine then. ‘When did it happen?’

‘According to the orthopods, three or four weeks ago, because the fracture shows up on the X-ray and looks as if it’s been trying to heal for some time—but the actual diagnosis was this morning.’ Danielle sighed. ‘I suppose my foot had been aching for a bit.’

And Dani, being Dani, had no doubt ignored it because she was too busy. ‘Why didn’t you say something, the other night?’ Hayley asked. ‘We could’ve missed class to let you rest your foot.’

Danielle flapped a dismissive hand. ‘It was fine.’

Hayley raised an eyebrow. ‘Fine enough for you to be wearing a walking cast right now?’

Danielle sighed. ‘OK, OK. I thought it wasn’t anything major and resting it for a day or two would be enough to sort it out, but it felt a bit worse yesterday so I thought I’d better get it checked out. I was pretty sure my doctor was going to roll his eyes at me and say it was just because I still needed to get used to my new running shoes. Except he sent me for an X-ray instead. And apparently almost everyone with a metatarsal stress fracture says the same thing as I did—they don’t remember doing anything different or they’ve just got new shoes.’
