They say that love doesn't just appear on your doorstep… When Tom Marshall knocks on Paton McLean's door, she's sure he is the one for her. Hiring him as a gardener and then a handyman, she keeps him around long enough for their relationship to develop into something more than friendship. Tom has other ideas about their future, however, and struggles to come to terms with Paton's certainty that they are meant to be together. It is only in one final karmic twist that Tom realises he's made the wrong decision… If you've ever loved someone and lost them, and then wondered if they ever regretted losing you, this short story is for you. 'I love Diane’s style of writing. I like that I get drawn into the book and I never know where it’s going to take me. The way she paints pictures with her words is fascinating to read. I’m always left wanting more. I really enjoyed The One. Can’t wait for the next one!' ~ Anna J. **
