Escape to the daisy-strewn, windswept Dorset cliffs, where the most unlikely opposites can sometimes attract…

Hattie Rose was once thrilled to call Paris her home. But when heartbreak sends her fleeing the city of love and the dreams she built there, the sleepy Dorset village of Gillypuddle seems like the perfect place to start over. But home isn’t quite as she left it, and her parents are barely coping with a painful family loss.

Taking a job at the donkey sanctuary nearby on Sweet Briar Farm, Hattie soon finds comfort in the gentle animals - and in the company of Seth, the handsome Canadian vet who makes her heart skip a beat. But her new boss Jo hides a grief‑filled past, and when local reporter Owen begins asking dangerous questions, secrets rise to the surface that will change all their lives.

Can Hattie trust what Owen says, especially when he seems intent on standing in the way of her blossoming romance with Seth?

A beautiful story that will melt the hardest of hearts. If you love Jenny Colgan, Lucy Diamond and Josie Silver, you will be enchanted by this life-affirming story.
