From the multi-award-winning, bestselling author of Broken Beyond Repair comes a new sapphic celebrity ice queen romance — a standalone novel and the third and final instalment in the South Downs Romance series.

Gillian Carmichael is grieving, not for the loss of her husband, but for what his death has cost her — Kingsford Manor, her beloved home. To make matters worse, she can observe the new 'Lady of the Manor' from her small abode in Kingsford Lodge, and observe her, she does.

Viola Berkley, an internationally renowned classical singer, retreats to the quiet of the countryside after her mother’s sudden death, seeking peace and anonymity. What she finds is an unwelcome adversary in her outspoken neighbour Gillian Carmichael, who is quick to critique Viola's suitability for her new role and her lack of village sensibilities.

As their worlds collide, both women realise they have more in common than divides them, and the line between animosity and attraction begins to blur. With Gillian shackled to her past, unable to let go of the life she lost, and Viola carrying the weight of her grief, can the pair find a path forward, or will the shadows of the past keep them apart?

Another wonderful book in the Downs series. The main characters in the other two novels pop up in this story - linking the three books. Abby Craden narrates this story so beautifully, allowing it come to life and making the reader falls in love with the characters. The author really draws the most out of the scenery and the secondary characters.
