A Helping Hand for the Village Nurse

Among the emerald hills of the Lake District sits the village of Thimblebury and Wordsworth Cottage, its garden bursting with wildflowers. It is the perfect place for village nurse Ottilie to make her brave new start...

Ottilie never thought she’d live in a place like Wordsworth Cottage. Nestled close to the river, her new home in the village of Thimblebury means all her patients are nearby, keeping her busy, which she needs after the death of her husband Josh.

But disaster strikes when the river floods Ottilie’s cottage. She has spent everything on her new home, and now she might lose it.

But the villagers can’t bear to lose Ottilie and they make a plan to save her house. Leading the effort is handsome Heath, and as he works, he and Ottilie start to open up to each other. Ottilie tells him about her loss, and he shares the pain of his broken marriage.

Could Heath be the man to make Ottilie feel life is worth living again?

A completely beautiful and romantic read about healing after heartbreak and learning that the darkest clouds have a silver lining. Fans of Shari Low, Jessica Redland and Jo Bartlett will lose their hearts to A Helping Hand for the Village Nurse.
