Description

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.

What everyone is saying about A Helping Hand for the Village Nurse:

I absolutely adored this novel and devoured it over the course of a few nights because I just couldn’t put it down... I was so excited to read Ottilie’s story and I knew I was in for heartbreak after reading the first page. The scenery is absolutely gorgeous... so moving and beautifully written.' ― NetGalley reviewer

'This was such a good book! The setting was perfect. It would be a great summer read... I could not put this book down.' ― Goodreads reviewer

'I loved this book... A really good read. I am a big fan of Tilly Tennant and yet again she does not disappoint.' ― Goodreads reviewer

'A heartwarming and engaging read with great characters, set in the beautiful setting of the Lake District which is one of my favourite places so this added to my enjoyment. I loved the community feel and how everyone pulled together to help each other. This was a lovely heartwarming read of making a fresh start and finding happiness and making new friends. Looking forward to the next instalment.' ― Goodreads reviewer

About the Author

From a young age, Tilly Tennant was convinced that she was destined for the stage. Once she realised she wasn't actually very good at anything that would put her on the stage, she started to write stories instead. There were lots of terrible ones, like The Pet Rescue Gang (aged eight), which definitely should not see the light of day ever again. Thankfully, her debut novel, Hopelessly Devoted to Holden Finn was not one of those, and since it hit the Amazon best seller lists she hasn't looked back. Born in Dorset, she currently lives in Staffordshire with her husband, two daughters, three guitars, four ukuleles, two violins and a kazoo.
