Mia Ward’s current life is far from a fairy tale: stuck in a dead-end
accountancy job, she suddenly finds herself fired after “inappropriate
behaviour” at an office party. Added to that,
her “rat” of a boyfriend then dumps her a week later for not being
“spontaneous” enough. Struggling to pay
her rent and reeling from her break up, Mia’s luck incredibly changes as from
out of the blue, she is contacted by a solicitor and discovers that she is a
beneficiary in a will. Mia is stunned to
find out that she has inherited “Sunbeam Cottage,” in the Village of Pondale
and ten thousand pounds, from a mysterious great aunt Matilda, a relative who
was ostracised by her family and who is completely unknown to Mia. Under the
terms of the legacy and to inherit it in its entirety, Mia must live in the
cottage for one calendar year. A true city girl who is definitely on her uppers
and with nothing left to lose, Mia decides to accept and accompanied by her
best friend Ella and Ella’s handsome brother Garrick Swann, who Mia may have
never resolved her feelings for, the three set out together to help Mia relocate
to the property and embark on a “new beginning” and to try to find out about
her enigmatic benefactor. But as Mia
settles into her new life it seems that not everyone is as thrilled about their
latest resident and have their own agenda for her to move on…
I love Emily Harvale’s novels. As
Emily says she “always puts a piece of her heart in them” and it shows with her
wonderfully vibrant narratives filled with characters who really endear
themselves to you. This book is
beautifully plotted and there are plenty of twists and turns to keep the reader
engaged and guessing. Well written , with a hint of mystery and plenty of
humour, this is a light, entertaining read.
I highly recommend this author.
