After becoming guardian to her four little sisters after their parents died when she was only eighteen, she had to grow up quickly. Now she's in her twenties, stuck in a loveless marriage to Greg, trying to make ends meet for her young twins, William and Leo. So when Ari is told that she's actually the Right Honourable Lady de Foix, Countess of Hiverton, owner of a sprawling estate in the village of Saxburgh in Norfolk, her first instinct is laughter.

And while she's struggling to settle in and settle down, she's making new friends and new mistakes. Trusting her gorgeous neighbour, Sebastian Flint-Hyssop, may be the biggest one of all...
