A Rural Affair

Discover the magic of second chances and starting again in this tantalising story from the bestselling author of A Cornish Summer

If Im being totally honest I had fantasized about Phil dying.

When Poppy Shillings bike-besotted, Lycra-clad husband is killed in a freak accident, she cant help feeling a guilty sense of relief. For at long last shes released from a controlling and loveless marriage.

Throwing herself wholeheartedly into village life, shes determined to start over. And sure enough, everyone from Luke the sexy church organist to Bob the resident oddball, is taking note. Yet the one man Poppy cant take her eyes off seems tantalizingly out of reach - why wont he let go of his glamorous ex-wife?

But just as shes ready to dip her toes in the water, the discovery of a dark secret about her late husband shatters Poppys confidence. Does she really have the courage to risk her heart again?

Because Poppy wants a lot more than just a rural affair . . .
