The Last Quarter — Nicki Edwards

Could this be her second chance at life and love? Fiercely independent barrister Zara Pritchard never planned on returning to her hometown of Glengarrick, but a shock breast cancer diagnosis while pregnant with her son forces her to rely on others for a change. For Dr. Ryan Dunlop, Glengarrick is exactly the place he needs to avoid the spotlight after a simple mistake as an AFL club doctor almost cost him his career. As soon as the dust has settled, he intends to return to Queensland. At least that's the plan until he falls hard for the first woman he meets in town. But Zara doesn't have time for romance. She's too busy with a new business venture and raising Finn, whose DNA she needs to keep a secret. Can Ryan convince Zara he's the one for her and Finn? And if Zara opens her heart to Ryan, will his feelings for her change when he discovers the truth about her past?
