Can this single dad rise to the challenge? 

Luke Travis may be a father, but he's never really been a dad to Ben. When the nine–year–old enrolls at the boarding school where Luke works, Luke knows it's time to step up. Except his son wants nothing to do with him.

And then there's Kat Molloy, the child therapist whose 'help' conflicts with everything he believes about raising kids. Some part of him realizes they both want what's best for Ben – and that same part of him wonders why he's so drawn to Kat despite their differences. But Luke can't risk letting romance get in the way of his relationship with his son…

But Daniel is never far from her thoughts. Then one morning she meets a stranger in the park.

You can take the woman out of the country…

When Ellie Nelson traded life in rural England for the big city, she left painful memories behind. Coming home to Little Dale means getting back in touch with nature and the animals that inspire her. And a local wildlife vet could even help the fledgling painter realise her dreams…except he's the one who broke her heart.

Andy Montgomery has to tread with caution. He can't put the creatures he's sworn to protect at risk. And Ellie isn't ready to trust him again. He doesn't blame her — he still hasn't told her his biggest secret. Once he does, will Ellie leave their close-knit community forever?

The love of a lifetime

Elsa May Malone was only five when the sea took away her beloved father. Traumatized, angry and forced to leave her home on the Cumbrian coast, she became hostile and withdrawn. Then she met Bryn Evans, a kindhearted boy who'd experienced loss, too. Slowly, Elsa began to let down her barriers–until she and Bryn were torn apart. Alone again, Elsa was sure of one thing: everyone she loved would eventually leave her.

When Bryn and Elsa finally reunite, Elsa's determined not to let her true feelings show. But they're grown up now, and Bryn clearly hopes their childhood friendship can become something more. Elsa is painfully aware that love can be as serene and yet as terrifying as the sea. But can she let Bryn into her heart before she loses him a second time?

He's a danger to everything she holds dear 

With his unruly dog, big–city airs, and obvious ignorance of the Lake District and its traditions, Will Devlin is Chrissie Marsh's worst nightmare. There's nothing the shepherdess loves more than the land she lives and works on, and nothing she hates more than the tourists who threaten it. Except Will isn't a tourist; he's her new neighbor. And he intends to turn her hallowed fells into a playground for people on holiday. But when he keeps showing up at her farm to offer–and ask for–help, she realises she'll need to put a stop to her own feelings before she can even try to stop him.

She's got nothing in her kit to cure heartache… 

Veterinarian Cass Truman has just landed her first job, in England's Lake District, and she's already eager to specialize in caring for horses.

At first, Cass is happy to return the sentiment–until she learns Jake has suffered a terrible loss. Cass finds herself drawn to the grieving man, and the two bond over their shared affinity for horses. But while Cass can relieve an animal's suffering, she's not sure she can ease Jake's….

You have to walk before you can ride 

Still reeling from the accident that claimed her thriving horse racing career, her engagement and almost her life, Maddie McGuire was determined. Determined to ride again, though she struggled to walk. Determined to start a new life on her own two feet. Determined to keep her past, and her identity, a secret.
