About this ebook
‘The most successful novelist on Planet Earth.’ Washington Post
‘A storyteller of immeasurable diversity and talent.’ Publisher’s Weekly
The first book in the Stanislaski family saga by New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts! Read as standalone or as a series 📖
Former ballerina Natasha Stanislaski has rebuilt her life on her own terms. The toy shop is her pride, and her small town is her sanctuary. But her heart? That's firmly off limits. Natasha has been hurt before, and she has no intention of letting anyone close enough to do it again.
Spence Kimball, a composer and devoted single dad, arrives in town to start over. His little girl, Freddie, is immediately enchanted by Natasha's shop. And if Spence is honest, so is he. Natasha is warm with every child who crosses her threshold, but whenever their eyes meet, she turns to ice. He's never met a woman so determined to keep him at arm's length. He's never met a woman he wanted more.
As Freddie's visits grow more frequent, something about watching Spence with his daughter begins to crack the defences Natasha has been hiding behind for years.
To love Spence would be to trust him with the truth she's buried deepest: the loss that broke her, the grief she still carries, the fear that loving something means losing it. Because Natasha knows, more than most, exactly how fragile beautiful things can be.
Warm, tender and quietly heartbreaking, Taming Natasha is the found family romance you won't want to end.
