  Following a string of disastrous house-sitting assignments, and with troubles in her recent personal life, Thea Osborne is understandably apprehensive about her latest commission: a wintery month in an isolated farmhouse with only an assortment of animals, including her loyal spaniel Hepzie, for company. With the summer lushness of the Cotswolds turned icy grey, Thea spends her first few days exploring the tiny but beautiful hamlet of Hampnett, and the nearby town of Northleach. While discovering more of the surrounding area she meets some of the mysterious local characters: the unappreciated au pair from Bulgaria and the elusive Kate from a neighbouring farm. But then the weather turns extreme, and so do events. When she stumbles across a man lying dead in a snow-filled field, Thea is once again at the heart of a mystery in the gorgeous Cotswold countryside.

If there is one thing she loves more than music, it is her brother Tommy's best friend Dominic, and luckily he feels the same.

Dominic and Tommy are quick to enlist, eager to play their part in the defence of the country they love. Tilly herself gives up her music to train as a nurse, helping to heal those that have suffered most in the unforgiving conflict. But while she throws herself into her new role, her heart and mind remain fixed on Dominic. Will Dominic return to her as promised and fulfil their engagement?
