A heart-warming feel-good novel full of friendship, family and romance... Beth Fraser has spent the last few years growing her business from scratch. She's turned the walled garden at Applemore House from an overgrown jungle into a beautiful and productive flower farm. A sudden change of circumstances means she has to find a way to make it pay more - and fast. Jack McDonald arrives in Applemore determined to make his outdoor activity centre a success - working with troubled teenagers is something that means a lot to him. He gets off on the wrong foot with Beth, and life in the little village of Applemore is proving far from idyllic. Can he prove that what he's doing is worthwhile, or will the villagers continue to hold him in suspicion?
