Product Description

Can she find happiness in her new home?

1935. At thirty-six, Bella Porter is dependent on her abusive cousin, acting as an unpaid servant. When a kind relative leaves her a house in the village of Backshaw Moss, Thomas tries to take it from her, but she defies him & grasps this chance of a new start in Lancashire.

It is not going to be easy, though. The house is on the edge of a slum & in a state of disrepair, let out as flats. As kind people help her find her feet, however, her confidence grows & when she meets struggling, widowed father-of-three Ryan, she begins to hope she may find the happy family she's always dreamed of.

She's offered partial help with her renovations by the local council who are planning to clear up the slums, but other landlords will do anything to avoid costly improvements & protect their profits. & when Thomas follows her, still after the inheritance, not only is Bella's newfound happiness threatened but also her life. Can her new friends help her rid herself of her tormenter once & for all & finally achieve her valley dream?
