Can true love strike twice? And if so, at what cost?

Young Scottish widow Ailis Murray doesn’t believe in second love. Left wealthy by her beloved husband, all she wants now, despite society’s disapproval, is a solitary life as a published artist. Driven by greedy in-laws and suitors to seek refuge in the English village of Little Macclow, Lissie meets a captivating ex-officer eager to draw her into the life of the parish—and perhaps even into his arms….

War-weary Charles Reynell is seeking guidance on becoming a cleric, not romance with a spirited lass as lonely as she is lovely. He knows a curate’s meager pay cannot support a family. Challenged by the local vicar to coax the reclusive widow back into society, Charles points her towards helping with the village’s annual well dressing festival. But his irresistible attraction to her makes him question his path and every belief that led to it.

Does Lissie dare to open her heart again? Must she or Charles—or both—give up their dreams as the price for a life together? Or when the past Lissie fled catches up to her, will they lose even the chance to find out?
