author: Snow, Suzanne
description: ***Shortlisted for the RNA Joan Hessayon Award***
  One crumbling cottage. One broken heart. A chance to start over?
  When
  Annie
   returns to Thorndale, the village where she spent much of her childhood, she’s looking for a new start. All she wants to do is fix up the cottage her godmother left her, and fix up her broken heart.
  When she clashes with local hero,
  Jon
  , Annie can’t help but wonder if coming back to Thorndale was a mistake. The village has clearly changed and the last thing she needs is more drama. But avoiding the distractingly handsome Jon is proving impossible, especially when Thorndale seems to be conspiring to throw them together…
  Annie is looking for a fresh start with zero romance – but what if the only way to learn to trust again is to take a risk on love?
  A heartwarming village love story for fans of Julie Houston, Victoria Walters and Trisha Ashley.
