When your dark past threatens your future and the love of your life, you have to fight.
Hannah
Did I plan to end up pregnant after a one-night stand? Absolutely not! But with my best friend Jake by my side, promising support for me and the little one, I’m unfazed by the whispers circulating in the village about his supposed dark past. I trust him wholeheartedly and know I can count on him, no doubt about it.
Jake
Hannah is my everything. She’s one of the few who welcomed me to Fellside, and becoming friends was easy. Rumours are rife in the village about me. They’re not entirely true, but they’re not entirely wrong either. I’ve left my past behind, and my future belongs to Hannah and her little one. The fear of it all catching up with me lingers, but no matter what, I won’t let anyone harm Hannah.
To those who carry the scars of their past but refuse to let them define their future.
Dedication
And to the ones who stand by their side, turning pain into hope and fear into courage.
This is for the love that heals, protects, and endures – even in the face of the darkest shadows
Wistful Whispers is book 4 in the Greenview Manor Tales series. One thing I love about Dani’s standalone series is that they don’t have to be read in any order, but it is probably better character development reading them in order. I didn’t feel like I was missing anything not having read the other books in the series.
If you are a happily ever after, best friends to lovers and novella loving reader then this book is for you! I’m a pretty slow reader, so this took me about two days but I’m sure you could read it in one day if you wanted to
We meet Hannah, in her early 40’s, loving life and going out with friends, but when a one-night stand turns into a surprise pregnancy, Hannah doesn’t know what to do. She doesn’t have any way of communicating with her one-night, good thing her best friend Jake is there for her to help her with the little one and supporting her throughout the pregnancy.
Jake hadn’t always lived in Fellside, before he moved he had a totally different life in London. A life that cost him everything. Until he met Hannah, one of the few who welcomed him to Fellside. But the past has a way of coming out and when Jake’s past comes to life he will do anything to keep Hannah and the little one out of danger.
There is one thing I hate about this pregnancy it’s the peeing. I have to pee all the time.
If you know me, you know I hate going to the washroom. And I’m not even pregnant. I could not imagine being pregnant and going all the time because of a little human. It just takes time out of the day. So reading about someone else who hates having to go made me laugh.
“But you already give me and the baby-“
“The princess.”
“Fine, the princess,” I roll my eyes. He loves that nickname. “You already do so much for us. We’re-“
“Hanny-bee, you’re my responsibility. You’re my best friend and staying at yours for a few months is not a hardship” he gives me a big grin. It does sound perfect, to be honest
Now, who doesn’t want a best friend like this? Someone who will drop everything to help you out without even having to ask them. Jake stepped right up when he found out the Hannah was pregnant, he didn’t care who the father was, just jumped to the opportunity to help his friend with her little one. I loved how willing he was to do whatever Hannah needed, even if she thought he was doing way too much for her and the princess. More than a friend should. But maybe Hannah has been missing what has been in front of her all along.
Why does this feel so right? The butterflies in my stomach make me feel giddy but it’s nonsense to think that we could be anything more than friends. We’ve been friends for eight years. Surely if there were more we would have acted on it by now
I’m sorry baby girl. I am so sorry. If this all ends badly I’m sorry that I couldn’t give you life. I am so sorry that this all has to end for you before you even had a chance to take your first breath.
… I close my eyes and try to recall all the happy moments I’ve had over the last few months. My first kiss with Jake. When he told me he loved me. When I realized I loved him, my best friend, my soulmate
