But his life changes when a devastating accident almost claims the life of one of the housemates. And in the midst of it all, The Cottage welcomes a new houseguest with a secret of her own, who will change Cooper's life in unexpected ways. Because among the people who share his cottage and his life, Cooper Winslow--lone, bachelor, movie star--may find the rarest of all opportunities: a chance to build a happiness he could never have dreamed of on his own, and to become the kind of human being he has never been.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003ch4 align=\"left\"\u003eThe Bookworms Mission:\u003c\/h4\u003e We strive to reduce unnecessary landfill by taking used books, second-hand books, paperback books, hardback books, pre-loved books, great reads and recycled books and then redistributing them throughout New Zealand, Australia and the rest of the world.
