One crumbling cottage. One broken heart. A chance to start over?

When Annie returns to Thorndale, a village in the English countryside where she spent much of her childhood, she’s looking for a new start. All she wants to do is fix up the cottage her godmother left her, and fix up her broken heart.

When she clashes with local hero, Jon, Annie can’t help but wonder if coming back to Thorndale was a mistake. The village has clearly changed, and the last thing she needs is more drama. But avoiding the distractingly handsome Jon is proving impossible, especially when Thorndale seems to be conspiring to throw them together…

Annie is looking for a fresh start with zero romance – but what if the only way to learn to trust again is to take a risk on love?

The perfect cosy romance for fans of Julie Houston, Victoria Walters and Trisha Ashley.


Suzanne Snow is a Lancashire-based author known for her contemporary and uplifting romance novels that beautifully capture the charm of rural England. Before becoming a writer, she trained and worked as a horticulturist, a passion that deeply influences the vivid landscapes and garden settings in her stories.
