Description
Everything is going right for Violet Smith. She is engaged to Jimby Fairfax, the accident-prone village blacksmith whose dimples make her heart melt, and her burlesque costume and vintage lingerie business is thriving in the beautiful village of Lytell Stangdale. With her close-knit group of loyal friends gathering for regular catch-ups by the fireplace of the Sunne Inn, life couldn't be more perfect.
But when a figure from her past appears during a romantic weekend away, Violet's greatest secret threatens to destroy everything. Heartbroken and terrified, she fears Jimby will never think of her the same way again when he learns the truth she's spent sixteen years hiding.
As her friends rally around her, and Jimby throws himself into creating a cheeky charity calendar starring the village's bashful bachelors, Vi must discover whether love can truly conquer all - or whether her happily-ever-after really was too good to be true.
Escape to the chocolate box beauty of the Yorkshire Moors in this heartwarming tale of love, second chances and finding your way home, perfect for fans of Heidi Swain, Jenny Colgan and Phillipa Ashley.

Person
Eliza lives in North Yorkshire with her family and has wanted to be a writer as far back as she can remember. She is inspired by her beautiful surroundings and loves to write heartwarming stories based on romance and friendship with a generous dollop of community spirit and a hint of humour. She's had fifteen novels published and has been an Amazon UK Kindle top ten bestseller.When she's not writing, Eliza can usually be found with her nose in a book or working in her garden doing a spot of plot wrangling (of the writing variety), and battling against the weeds. The weeds, unfortunately, are currently winning, but Eliza is undeterred. Roses are amongst her favourite flowers and she doesn't need much of an excuse to visit a plant centre, where a new rose always seems to mysteriously find its way onto her trolley, much to her husband's astonishment.Eliza also enjoys having a catch-up with friends over tea and cake, as well as bracing walks in the countryside, rounded off by a visit to a teashop - for yet more tea and cake!
