The Year of the Fox

When Nancy Myers starts her New Life in the mountains with a wild leap of faith and a cordless drill in her back pocket, she discovers:

a) working stuff out as you go along tends to bite you in the ass

b) men who look good in rain boots are Dangerous

c) it's a good idea to keep an eye out for neighbors when bathing naked in your sheep trough

"Tait offers an auspicious and cute premise, a scorchingly hot romance, and a highly original setting." – The Booklife Prize

Nancy's having a hard time. Her career trajectory has flatlined, she's just been jilted for a prettier, more limber girl-woman, and her car is starting to look like an attractive housing option.

But Nancy has a secret weapon. Desperation.

Determined to make a fresh start (one that on no account features men of the falling-in-love-with variety), she purchases a rural property on a whim at the foot of a mountain range and attempts to settle into country life.

She finds the vista of the alps healing. She also finds a tall, dark, farming stranger (who proves to be therapeutic in other ways).

But when she discovers her precious view is about to be taken away, Nancy faces a hard choice. Should she play saboteur to protect her own happiness, even if it means losing the man who just might possibly be the key to it?

Maybe her fresh start is actually a false start. Or maybe she's learning a thing or two about how to be a kick-ass, self-reliant woman.
