Synopsis

Will this quaint village be the safe haven her heart craves?

To protect her precious daughter from the danger nipping at their heels, Jewel Libby must flee the only home she’s ever known. Caring friends direct her to the vicarage in the peaceful dairy village of Gresham, but she arrives there to find Vicar Andrew Phelps and his wife immersed in troubles of their own. Their son Philip, a successful London surgeon, has a controlling wife who resents his close family ties. And daughter Aleda lives in a cottage on the outskirts of Gresham, where she adamantly pursues her writing career and her solitude—often to the exclusion of others.

When Andrew becomes ill and in need of his son’s skills, and Aleda’s quest for privacy unwittingly advances an evil man’s schemes, Jewel finds the tables turned—she is the one offering support and a source of strength. But an unlikely romance is about to change everything …
