Winter's Tale

When Sophy Winter unexpectedly inherits Winter's End‚ a crumbling mansion in the beautiful Lancashire countryside - on the very same day that she is evicted from her home - it seems like all Sophy's prayers have been answered at once. She eagerly swaps life as a housekeeper in favour of having her own team of staff‚ and relocates from a static caravan to the majestic stately home.

But Sophy quickly realises the challenge on her hands - the house is decrepit and its eccentric inhabitants - including two squabbling elderly great aunts‚ and a highly unconventional cook - are a handful. And once it is discovered that Winter's End once played host to a young Shakespeare‚ Sophy's ideas for renovating the beautiful seventeenth century knot gardens run riot.

Soon‚ the entire village of Sticklepond is curious about Sophy's plans for Winter's End‚ especially charming and attentive Jack. But is he really smitten by Sophy...or her inheritance?

Gorgeous head gardener Seth is the strong and silent type. But does his passion bloom for anything beyond the horticultural?

Could Winter's End really be a gift from the gods...or will it turn it out to be a real mixed blessing?

A charming romantic comedy for fans of Katie Fforde and Jill Mansell...guaranteed to thaw the coldest of hearts!
