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.
