With his dark eyes, strong physique, and easy-going attitude, Jack Seymour fills Emma’s teenage dreams. He is everything she’s ever wanted. But can he be attracted to a scruffy schoolgirl like her?

Apparently not.

Eighteen years later, Emma finds herself unexpectedly on the doorstep of Jack Seymour’s small dairy farm. Homeless and jobless, she accepts his offer of a lodge in exchange for milking the cows and seeks sanctuary amongst the rolling hills of the peaceful Cotswold countryside while trying to rebuild her life.

As her heart starts to heal and the long summer days encourage her to bloom, she soon attracts the attention of the handsome village squire and uncovers deep ancestral secrets that could tear hearts and lives apart.

Finding herself in the middle of family feuds, Emma wonders if she can find happiness within the walls of an affluent country hall, or will her heart be tempted to discover if second chances really do exist?
