Beth Moran Boeken

When Ollie Tennyson was sixteen, she wrote a Dream List of all the things she wanted for her life. But at twenty-nine, Ollie is single, living at home with her over-protective mother, and her dreams are getting further out of reach. It's time for a change. Without telling her mum, Ollie finds the perfect place to start her new life - End Cottage with its duck-egg blue front door and a garden that leads to acres of forest. Now all Ollie has to do is complete the rest of her list before she can imagine any romance coming into her life. After all, how is she going to find her dream man in the middle of a forest... Beth Moran's novels make every day better. Perfect for all fans of Jill Mansell, Julie Houston, and Jenny Colgan.

Eleanor Sharpley has been living a lie…Needing to escape her London life quickly, Eleanor throws her things into the back of her car, and heads to her erstwhile best friend Charlie’s family farm. But Charlie isn’t there. Instead she finds Charlie’s grieving brother Daniel, her eight-month old daughter Hope (a daughter Eleanor had known nothing about), and a crumbling and unloved Damson Farm. Damson Farm lies at the edge of the village of Ferrington, with the river Maddon flowing at its heart. But Ferrington is a village divided by more than just a river – it is split in two by an age-old feud – between the Old Side and the New Side. Eleanor has run from her problems, straight into a family and a world that has problems of its own. But Damson Farm has magic too, and as winter gives way to spring, the old farm starts to come to life under Eleanor’s love and care. The orchard starts to blossom with daffodils and bluebells, and the sound of bees busy in their hives fills the warming air. Can Eleanor bring Daniel and the feuding village of Ferrington back to life too, or will her secrets catch up with her first?
