Publisher Description
Welcome to Embthwaite Farm, a charming English home in North Yorkshire, belonging to the fractured Mowbray family…
When Rachel Mowbray left behind her family farm in North Yorkshire at eighteen, she never planned on returning. But when her ex-childhood sweetheart calls and insists she return due to her father’s declining health, she travels north. Every moment home reminds Rachel why she left—her sister Harriet is both hostile and cold, her father barely communicates with anyone, and the house feels stuck in time. Plus, her old neighbour and ex, sheep farmer Ben Mackey, still has the power to make her pulse race...a decidedly unwelcome realization!
As a can-do businesswoman, Rachel wants to sweep in and fix everything, but it seems as if no one actually wants her help and nothing goes according to plan. Even more alarmingly, she must face the confounding memories of her own childhood—and she questions how many of them she can truly trust.
As Rachel navigates her father’s health crisis and confronts old hurts with her sister and community, she wonders if she can finally find her happily-ever-after in the most unexpected place of all—home. But will she—as well as Ben—have the courage to fight for their future together this time?

I loved this one by Kate, it’s the first in her new series The Mowbray Sisters and this story is older sister Rachel’s. Rachel hadn’t been home in years and when she is home feels unwanted by her sister Harriet and her father. When her childhood crush Ben calls her insisting she come home due to a family health crisis Rachel comes home with open hostility from Harriet and her dad who is irritable and uncommunicative. As the story progresses we see Rachel and Harriet talking more about their relationship and how miscommunication and hurt feelings took a toll. Ben certainly redeemed himself in the later part of the story but early on he was a bit of a jerk but we see that perceptions are different for everyone and how we see things isn’t necessarily the same as how someone else sees it. I loved this one and can’t wait to read Harriet’s story.
