Kitty Bennett adores her home village of Lytell Stangdale, where thatched cottages nestle beneath the wild beauty of stunning heather moorland. Her family’s lime-washed cottage at Oak Tree Farm used to be filled with love and laughter. But these days, even her beloved black Labradors seem to notice something is wrong. Somewhere along the way, Kitty lost sight of what she truly wants from life, and now she hardly recognises herself. When a trip to the village shops leads to a surprise encounter with her childhood sweetheart, Ollie Cartwright , old feelings resurface like wildflowers after rain. With his gentle smile and aquamarine eyes, he slowly reminds Kitty of the free-spirited girl she used to be before her life became complicated. Over nights spent laughing with friends by the roaring fire of the Sunne Inn, Kitty gradually begins to rediscover her strength and remember what truly matters. But when buried secrets from the past turn her world upside down just as romance seems about to blossom, will she find the courage to reclaim her life and protect those she loves most?

She is inspired by her beautiful surroundings and loves to write heartwarming stories based on romance and friendship with a generous dollop of community spirit and a hint of humour. She’s had fifteen novels published and has been an Amazon UK Kindle top ten bestseller.When she’s not writing, Eliza can usually be found with her nose in a book or working in her garden doing a spot of plot wrangling (of the writing variety), and battling against the weeds. The weeds, unfortunately, are currently winning, but Eliza is undeterred. Roses are amongst her favourite flowers and she doesn’t need much of an excuse to visit a plant centre, where a new rose always seems to mysteriously find its way onto her trolley, much to her husband’s astonishment.Eliza also enjoys having a catch-up with friends over tea and cake, as well as bracing walks in the countryside, rounded off by a visit to a teashop – for yet more tea and cake!
