An unexpected and unusual inheritance sets a young woman on the road to discover her mother' s deepest secret. A charming and heartfelt rural romance perfect for readers of Rachael Johns and Karly Lane. When Lou Taylor inherits a quaint country cottage and a mobile library full of books from her birth mother, she heads to the small town of Wagtail Ridge to learn more about the woman she never knew. Curiously, the last piece of the bequest is a handwritten letter, the first of many Luca left scattered along the library' s route in hopes of finally sharing her secrets with the daughter she had to give up. The townspeople of Wagtail Ridge flock around Lou, wanting to share the stories of Luca' s life, but she knows she must learn about her birth mother in the way Luca intended. Jake Barnes, her new neighbour, offers to help her follow the trail, but weighing on his conscience is a promise he made to Luca - a secret that now stands between him and the woman who' s slowly capturing his heart. . . As the kilometres fly by, Lou gradually untangles who her mother was and what lay behind the choices she made. At the same time, she finds herself drawing ever closer to kind, handsome Jake. But will it all be enough to keep her in Wagtail Ridge when she has another happy life waiting for her in the city? A captivating story of love, family and belonging from award-winning romance author Janet Gover.

Janet Gover grew up in outback Australia, surrounded by wide open spaces, horses . . . and many, many books. When her cat lets her actually sit in her chair, she writes stories of strong women, rural communities and falling in love. Her novel Little Girl Lost won the Epic Romantic Novel of the Year Award presented by the Romantic Novelists' Association in the UK, and she has won or been shortlisted for awards in Australia and the USA. As Juliet Bell, in collaboration with Alison May, she rewrites misunderstood classic fiction, with an emphasis on heroes who are not so heroic. Her favourite food is tomato. She spends too much time playing silly computer games, and is an enthusiastic, if not always successful, cook. Janet loves to hear from readers-so do drop her a line. http://janetgover. com/ www. facebook. com/janetgoverbooks/ Twitter: @janet_gover
