Welcome to Willoughby Close… a charming cluster of cozy
cottages, each with a story to tell and a happy ending to
deliver…
Alice James has been a drifter her whole life, working
her way through several foster homes before ending up in
Wychwood-on-Lea, feeling anchorless and invisible. When a
chance encounter leads to Alice accepting a position as a
caretaker and companion to Lady Stokeley, she starts to
feel as if she might finally be able to put down some
roots and live the way other people do.
Then, Lady Stokeley’s nephew, city banker Henry Trent,
storms into Willoughby Manor, seeming to find fault with
everything, including Alice. As the next in line to the
manor and title, he threatens to upturn everything she’s
started to build. But Henry is hiding his own secret
fears and weaknesses, ones he's desperate for no one to
discover. A surprising and inconvenient attraction that
simmers between them leaves Alice feeling more confused
than ever, and Henry torn between duty and desire, fear
and love.
When circumstances become even more difficult, both Alice
and Henry must decide who they really are, and what they
are willing to fight for. Could Alice possibly the next
Lady of Willoughby Manor?
