Blackthorn Cottage — Rowena Summers

Bristol, England, 1930.

As a city girl, Jasmine Wyatt isn't at all sure what to think at inheriting a cottage in a small Somerset village. Her irascible widowed father is totally against her living there, and the opposition of local estate agent William Hedges puts her in a defiant mood. Even when she discovers the cottage has a bad reputation, Jasmine falls in love with it at first sight. Could she live there, in such a different environment, isolated from her father and sister and her busy life in Bristol? It seems that Blackthorn Cottage weaves a magic of its own, and despite doubts on all sides, circumstances dictate the future for her. As Jassy's twenty-first birthday approaches, and her father finally comes to terms with this milestone day, Jassy discovers that she is not the only one to find unexpected happiness through the legacy of Blackthorn Cottage.
