Her desire for love will have disastrous consequences

Lissa Turner has everything a girl could wish for. She's beautiful, intelligent and has a wonderful family in the picturesque Lake District. But despite her good fortune, Lissa is unhappy. Her mother abandoned her as a baby, and ever since, she's been wracked with insecurity, fearing everyone else will leave her too.

As soon as she is old enough, she takes up a job in Carreckwater, a lively village in the heart of Lakeland. She makes many friends, but Lissa's need to be loved and cherished leads her to rush into marriage. Can she make the relationship work, or will she live to regret her decision?

An enchanting saga set in the Lake District, perfect for fans of Ruth Hamilton and Rosie Goodwin.
