Too bad Hemi keeps refusing to be left in her past.Sometimes, especially in New Zealand’s Maori Northland, it really does take a village. And sometimes it just takes a little faith.NOTE: This 36,000-word (120-page) novella begins about six years before the events of JUST THIS ONCE, and yes, it gets a little steamy at times, because Reka and Hemi are just that way.
