About the book
Catherine came to the small country village to find her birth mother, the woman who’d abandoned her years before. She was bitter, determined, angry and certainly not in the mood to fall in love.
Enter Keir Darrell, the local veterinarian, whose dark good looks and kindness blazed a trail straight to Catherine’s heart. Just when Catherine thought that her search to find her birth mother had failed, Keir provided the all important link to the truth, to the woman whose story was very different from the one Catherine had envisioned.
