As the weather improves, Rose starts to unlock the secrets of the valley – from bonfire ceremonies and wine-making traditions to eccentric locals and their histories.
Despite herself, Rose starts to fall in love: with the valley, the wines, the two children she’s helping to look after – and with the handsome and brilliant Mark Cameron, owner of the troubled Kalkari Wines estate.
What will happen when Mark’s estranged wife, the tempestuous Isabella, returns? Will Rose find a future in the Shingle Valley, or will she be forced to leave?

She writes on travel, health, wellbeing, parenting and lifestyle topics, and has been short-listed for local and international short-story awards. She is a mother to two girls. This is her first novel.
Mattie Cameron thinks she’s got it all figured out: an impressive career in London, a gorgeous boyfriend and brilliant friends. But after a freak skiing accident leaves her with serious injuries, a broken heart and a job she can no longer do, moving back to Australia to recuperate at her brother Mark’s winery in the Shingle Valley seems like the only option.
Meanwhile, Mark is preoccupied with a catastrophic threat to the future of the valley, and his partner, Rose, is juggling the demands of her burgeoning restaurant and being a stepmother, all the while secretly longing for a child of her own.
As Mattie’s injuries heal, she begins to wonder where her future might lie, especially when she finds herself struggling with her growing feelings for winemaker Charlie Drummond – who happens to be engaged to someone.
Featuring the cherished cast of characters from Rose’s Vintage, this new tale of life and love in the spectacular Shingle Valley is set to charm and delight.

Dall’autrice del bestseller La figlia del mercante di fiori
L’insegnante Thea Rust, al suo arrivo in un esclusivo collegio nella campagna britannica, non ha idea di quello che la aspetta. Da oltre centocinquanta anni, infatti, la “Casa della seta” è un rifugio per ragazze in difficoltà. È un antico edificio dal passato travagliato, dove le ombre nascondono più misteri di quanti lei possa immaginare. Thea ancora non lo sa, ma il suo destino sta per intrecciarsi con la sua storia.
È la fine del 1700 e Rowan Caswell lascia il suo villaggio per lavorare nella casa di un mercante di seta inglese. Si tratta di un mondo del tutto nuovo per lei, e il suo talento erboristico attira fin da subito pericolose attenzioni.
Negli stessi anni a Londra, Mary-Louise Stephenson sogna di diventare una designer di seta, un lavoro, fino a quel momento, appannaggio degli uomini. Porta con sé uno scampolo di stoffa preziosissima, con un intricato motivo floreale, destinato a cambiare il suo destino.

Isole Scilly, 1951. Esther Durrant, una giovane madre, viene internata per volere del marito. La struttura, situata nelle remote isole a sud della Cornovaglia, rischia di trasformarsi per lei in una prigione. Ma grazie alla gentilezza del dottor Richard Creswell, uno psichiatra con idee all’avanguardia, quel luogo sembra trasformarsi in un rifugio per Esther.
2018. La scienziata marina Rachel Parker si imbarca per un progetto di ricerca nei mari inglesi, quando un violento temporale la costringe a trovare riparo su un’isola. Qui, il ritrovamento di una valigia piena di lettere cambierà per sempre il suo destino. La dolcezza e la passione di quelle parole scritte più di cinquant’anni prima, infatti, spingono Rachel a indagare per ricostruire tutta la storia di Esther e del periodo che ha trascorso in quelle isole. E i segreti che emergeranno dal passato avranno ripercussioni, a distanza di mezzo secolo, sulla vita della stessa Rachel.
