Charlie S. Hughes, 27, is grappling with a chaotic life and a lacklustre love life. When she takes a job at a city farm, an unexpected romantic dilemma unfolds as three very different men vie for her affection: Will, a mysterious Yorkshire farmer; Franco, a wild and unpredictable artist; and Gabriel, a brooding friend with whom she shares much in common.

I’m a sucker for a cute farm… a sweet, easy read with a HEA. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ NetGalley Reviewer

Charlie S. Hughes is 27 and needs a plan. Her life's a mess and up until now her love life has been less than thriving. But a job offer at the local city farm feels like an opportunity too good to miss…

But when not one, but three guys take an interest in her, things get a lot more interesting:

  • Will, the enigmatic farmer from Yorkshire.
  • Franco, the edgy and yet completely unpredictable artist.
  • Or Gabriel, the brooding but supportive friend she just happens to have a lot in common with…

Dating in your twenties should be fun, but when trouble walks through the door, will Charlie be able to separate her head from her heart and make the right decision?

Inspired by Thomas Hardy’s classic novel Far from the Madding Crowd, this is a story of second chances, love, betrayal and finding your own happiness.
