Emma is having a fresh start.
After a successful teaching career, an exciting new chapter awaits Emma – helping her fiancé Grayson run one of Beatrix Potter’s farms. While imagining days spent supporting Grayson with his dream, working the land and helping with the animals, Emma harvests a dream of her own – to set up an alpaca-walking business around the farm.
But working together isn’t as easy as Emma expected. Soon her dreams are in tatters and, broken-hearted, she must start over yet again.
When Oliver, Rosie and the team at Willowdale Hall welcome Emma with open arms, she can’t believe her luck. But starting a new business in a new place is a daunting prospect, especially when it
comes with unexpected obstacles. With a reserved, prickly groundskeeper as a partner, rapidly changing family dynamics to contend with, and time running out to get her new career off the ground, Emma may have bitten off more than she can chew.
But even though things are not going to plan just yet, the best is yet to come for Emma, if she can just take a leap of faith and follow her heart…

My thoughts: I want to cuddle an alpaca!
When Emma’s boyfriend dumps her after she leaves her job and sells her home to move with him to one of Beatrix Potter’s farms and fulfil his dreams, she’s completely lost. But after moving in with dad, and getting a chance to rebuild their relationship, she meets the half-brother she didn’t know she had and gets offered the opportunity to bring her alpaca walking business to life.
Oliver offers her space in the grounds of Willowdale Hall to house the seven rescue animals and build the facilities she needs. Which is how she meets Killian, builder, youth club manager, adoptive father to his adorable nieces and great listener. Finally confronting the pain in her past, Emma might be ready for a new romance as well as a new job.
Fun, quirky and sweet, this is a lovely read and perfect for this time of your as the evenings draw in and you want to curl up with a cosy book.
