Escape to the beautiful, idyllic English countryside with Fay Keenan.

After a rough year, the last place Lizzie Warner wants to be is Roseford. It may be a picture-postcard country idyll, but for Lizzie it will always hold difficult memories from her past. But when the alternative to staying with her Aunt Bee, owner of Roseford Blooms, is moving back in with her controlling parents - well, the choice is easy.

Simon Treloar was born and raised to be the Lord of the Manor, but now he's had to hand over his beloved Roseford Hall to a heritage charity, he begins to question his usefulness. Can he find a way to make his mark, or is it better to walk away from generations of history and strike out on his own?

When Lizzie and Simon meet, they recognise kindred spirits in each other. But with both questioning their futures, can one magical summer in Roseford help Lizzie and Simon move on from what is holding them back? Or is there too much history on both sides for them ever truly to be happy together?

Escape to the country with Fay Keenan's latest warm-hearted romance, perfect for fans of Holly Martin, Cathy Bramley and Jo Bartlett.
