As the clouds chase the sun across the Lake District hills, and the warm breeze hints at spring on the way, midwife Zoe Padbury is counting her blessings. Until a surprise arrival changes everything...
Zoe Padbury is a big believer in second chances. She's been so happy since she started over in the village of Thimblebury. Especially now she's moved into Hilltop Farm with her boyfriend Alex and can be on hand to help his daughter when her baby arrives.
All that changes when Zoe's father arrives, arm in arm with his newly pregnant fiancée Chantal. Chantal is bowled over by Thimblebury's picture-perfect charm, and before Zoe's had a chance to draw breath, they've made plans to get married in the old stone church, make Zoe their future baby's midwife and move into the cottage next door.
Worried about her mum's broken heart and how Alex feels about having her family so close by, at first Zoe doesn't notice that Chantal's brother has also moved in and is determined to make trouble, ruining the lives of the people who have made her feel so welcome. With the villagers up in arms about his behaviour, Zoe is torn in two. Can she protect her new life and love without losing her family?
Fans of Jessica Redland and Shari Low will adore this funny and romantic page-turning read about family, trusting your heart and seizing that second chance.
