International best-selling author Ava Miles presents a gripping and emotional tale about believing in wishes coming true and searching for love—no matter where it leads.

“I am adding Ava Miles to my list of always reads like Susan Mallery, Jill Shalvis, Kristen Ashley, and Nora Roberts.” (Marjay's Reading Blog)

Shelby McGuiness hadn’t stopped believing in wishes.

Vander Montgomery had given up all hope.

Shelby’s luck might have run out the day her daddy up and left her family high and dry. But she pulled herself up by her bootstraps to become a successful accountant working for a powerful, if eccentric, Southern businesswoman whose estate houses a magical fountain. With every wish Shelby makes, her life seems to improve. There’s just one wish she’s always had: to find her daddy.

Cue the sexy Private Investigator Vander Montgomery. He’s a true hero, a man who’s turned tragedy into triumph and helps others do the same. But he doesn’t believe in wishes anymore, just plain old-fashioned luck, after tragedy shattered his family.

Shelby risks everything to uncover the secret behind her daddy's abandonment. She throws coin after coin into the fountain. Then a new wish emerges...that Vander can believe wishes are infinite and love conquers all.
