In 1950s Wales, a young woman is torn between loyalty to her wayward brother and the fierce yearnings of her own heart . . .

Supporting her brother between his spells in prison costs Amanda Clifford more than money. She loses friends—and constantly has to move. But he’s the only family she’s ever known.

Until, that is, she’s told that a great aunt has left her a cottage. The only catch: Her brother isn’t allowed to live there with her. Can she really leave him? Though they both had the disadvantage of growing up in children’s homes, Amanda has made a life for herself as a teacher—while Roy seems to be an incorrigible thief.

When she befriends the cottage’s current occupier, her hopes grow. This is a place where she could be happy. And perhaps she’ll find more family in the area. One thing is for certain: She wouldn’t mind spending more time with Rhys Falconbridge, the elusive and handsome nephew of her tenant . . .
