title: The Nordman
author: Birch, Catherine
description: Tori Brown is recovering from the embittered breakup of her engagement and seeks solace in the depths of Herefordshire. Living alone, she adapts to the close and friendly village life, where her personal life is not questioned, thus distancing herself from any prospective relationships. With the calming influence that her horse Carlos gives her, she is soon riding the bridle paths and woodland and beginning to enjoy her life once again. Sudden events take a hold and Tori is thrown, not only from Carlos, but into the beginnings of a new life that is to change everything. Someone else comes into her life, not what she quite expected but certainly what she wanted. Johan Andersen, a local Norwegian forester, captures Tori's heart and from that point on life is not the same again... just better, beyond her wildest dreams.
