All Sarah Tyson has ever wanted is a place she could call home. The orphaned daughter of diplomats, she longs for the sweet simplicity of a house and garden. When retired professor Peter Lanford hires her to be his part-time housekeeper, she feels she has finally found what she has long been looking for. But the joy of creating a home and befriending lonely Peter is marred by the gossip and speculation rife in the idyllic Gloucestershire village… gossip that winds its way into Peter and Sarah’s lives—and into their hearts. Soon Sarah’s friendship with Peter has become a village affair, and it threatens to ruin everything she holds dear. A short novella from USA Today bestselling author Katharine Swartz, who also writes as Kate Hewitt.

Also published under the name Kate Hewitt. After spending three years as a diehard New Yorker, Katharine Swartz now lives in the Lake District with her husband, an Anglican minister, their five children, and a Golden Retriever. She enjoys such novel things as long country walks and chatting with people in the street, and her children love the freedom of village life—although she often has to ring four or five people to figure out where they’ve gone off to! She writes women’s fiction as well as contemporary romance for Mills & Boon Modern under the name Kate Hewitt, and whatever the genre she enjoys delivering a compelling and intensely emotional story.
