What it feels like
Reading this vintage romance feels like stepping into a sweeping, emotionally charged pastoral drama.

About the book
The advertisement for a job as home help to the Wingard family on a farm in the hill country of New Zealand was just the thing Lin had been wanting - though not for the usual reasons. It was not the work she needed; it was that she hoped it would lead her to what she was searching for. But she had still not found it when she realised she had fallen in love with the son of the family, Soren, and everything crashed about her in ruins. Could she get away from him before she did any more harm?
