He's not expecting much from January.So he's not ready for the girl who cuts past him on a wave. Not at all prepared for her perfect balance, compelling green eyes and gold skin. January is about to change.For the first time, this new edition combines Alex Delaney's two stories, After January and 'Juliet', by award-winning and popular author Nick Earls.
