When love comes knocking again, will they have the courage to open the door?

Laura Lewis didn't know if she could leave the past behind her when she moved to the quaint village of Buttermarsh.

But as she settles into her new life working at the local care home, Laura meets Gertie, the quirky resident with a zest for life, who shows her that it's time to let go and embrace her future.

Richard Brown, a local teacher, struggles to balance the demands of single fatherhood. But he manages, thanks in no small part to his eccentric but loving grandmother, Gertie.

Laura and Richard's paths cross in unexpected ways, from fleeting encounters at the care home to secretive smiles at the village cafe. An undeniable connection sparks between them - one that excites and terrifies them.

Too scared to risk their hearts again, perhaps all they need is a helping hand from a certain insistent matchmaker, who believes it's never too late for a second chance at a new beginning . . .

Sparks fly in this unputdownable small-town romance about second-chance love and the power of new beginnings. Perfect for fans of Helen Rolfe, Sarah Hope, Bella Osborne, Polly Babbington, Cressida McLaughlin, Jane Lovering or Jessica Redland.
