cover:
It's not as if Nel hasn't enough on her plate already: organising a farmers' market in the picturesque Paradise Fields, keeping track of her unnervingly beautiful teenage daughter and sorting out a houseful of animals are quite enough to keep her busy. The last thing she needs is another complication in her life, but when her old friend Sir Gerald dies and his son Pierce, accompanied by his glamorous American wife, takes posession of The Big House, it seems that preserving the Fields is not on his list of priorities.

Nel takes up arms, determined to fight for the meadow and the market she loves. But whom can she trust? She's pretty sure her friends Sacha and Vivian are on her side, but her sensible botfriend Simon, an estate agent, is less encouraging. And then there's Jake, the infuriating yet attractive stranger who kissed her under the mistletoe. Maybe she's been a celibate widow for a little too long...
