When Maggie Parker’s life comes crashing down upon the death of her husband, she is left devastated, filled with guilt and wondering how she and her son Ben are going to get through the grief and begin again. Ben has been badly bullied at school and is now home schooled.

On a miserable Thanksgiving they make the decision to return to Starr’s Fall, a place they both have happy memories off, maybe to begin again. A car trip to the little town sees them make a life changing decision; to lease one of the many empty shops long the main street and open up a gaming Café; gaming being a passion of Bens’.

The move is on and it is the bleak month of January when they pull up outside what is to be their new home and business. Ben is morose, but willing to help and once the removal van has departed they set about beginning the next chapter in their life.

As the day’s pass Zack Miller comes into their life, offering to help out with shelving and anything else that may need to be done. He is far to handsome and has a reputation of a player with the ladies. He and Ben bond over an online Game RainQuest which they both play.

Zack and Maggie also begin to appreciate each other, a soft and gentle friendship forming which seems to be leading down a road Maggie is unsure of wanting to travel. Zack is far younger than she is but believes he has found the perfect woman he has been looking for since high school, Maggie.  

Kate Hewitt has carried on the special magic to heal and find love in Starr’s Fall, with this delightful second book Playing for Keeps in Starr’s Fall, as Maggie and Zack fall in and out and in love and Ben begins to discover true friends as they put their past firmly behind them and begin again.

Playing for Keeps in Starr’s Fall is the perfect companion for a lazy day on the couch.
