Indulge in this deliciously romantic rural comedy about past love from the bestselling author of A Cornish Summer

One day in May, Hattie's life changes for ever . . .

Hattie Carrington has good reason to be happy. Her antiques business is flourishing, her teenage son is settled at school and she's enjoying a fling with a sexy, younger man. But when work takes her back to the village of Little Crandon, heartbreaking memories of her first love surface.

It seems that the secret affair with married politician Dominic Forbes, which changed the course of her life, just won't go away.

So when Hattie bumps into Dominic's widow and his gorgeous younger brother, Hal, her world is turned upside down. Though she's still trying to hide from her mistakes, she knows that if she's ever to fall in love again she needs to be honest with others, and herself.

Can she admit what really happened with Dominic all those years ago?

And, if so, is she ready for the consequences?
