About this listen

From the bestselling author of The Village Shop For Lonely Hearts

After escaping her parents’ unhappy marriage to sleepy Cranbridge a long time ago, Belle Clarke dreams of staying at The Black Swan Inn forever.

But with the rundown Inn threatened with closure, Belle may be forced to leave, unless a buyer can be found … quickly.

So, when her oldest friend Pete Kennedy returns from working abroad with a plan to save the Inn, Belle should be overjoyed. The trouble is, Pete has some rather radical ideas for the renovation which Belle disagrees with.

But when a snow storm hits, Belle and Pete are forced to put aside their differences and work together to help the village.

Can Belle realise her dreams to stay in Cranbridge and can Pete ever stop running from his past?

As they try to save The Black Swan Inn, secrets are revealed and just maybe they’ll finally find out how they really feel about each other.

A cosy, heartwarming listen perfect for fans of Cathy Bramley and Holly Martin

Bell is pathetic

This really didn't go many places. The main characters growth was surmised to changing her wardrobe and love... Which wasn't there much until the end. Pretty boring

Story was bland
