Sophy Winter is not your typical Lady of the Manor...
When she unexpectedly inherits Winter's End
- a crumbling mansion in the beautiful Lancashire countryside - it seems like all Sophy's prayers have been answered at once. She eagerly swaps life as a housekeeper in favour of having her own team of staff.
But Sophy quickly realises the challenge on her hands - the house is decrepit and its eccentric inhabitants are a handful. And once it is discovered that Winter's End once played host to a young Shakespeare, the entire village of Sticklepond soon becomes curious about Sophy's plans, especially charming and attentive Jack Lewis. But is he really smitten by Sophy - or her cash?
Gorgeous head gardener Seth is the strong and silent type. But does his passion bloom for anything beyond the horticultural?
Could Winter's End really be a gift from the gods - or will it turn it out to be a real mixed blessing?
