Celia Pressley’s cottage in the suburban town of Longbrook was not quite what Nigel, just back from Brazil, considered the ideal home for his mother. But incurable optimist that she was, she overlooked the draughts, the tangled garden, the rickety staircase, even the brass band that used the barn next door for practice, and found contentment in the cosily crowded rooms, unexpected flowers and blossoms, and the glimpse of a slowly-moving river from the gate. She had never given up on her hope that one day her son would marry her goddaughter, Rona, even though when he had seen her last, she was an awkward teenager and had a crush on Nigel. Nigel was the playboy growing up. He dated many beautiful ladies and wasn’t ready to settle down. When he returned home from Brazil, he was surprised to see how much Rona had changed. Rona was determined not to let Nigel break her heart again…Here is another romp and romance from the famous author, Elizabeth Cadell.
