Books Included in This Collection:
Peppercorn Street
Three women in a Wiltshire village embark on fresh starts, with neighbourly bonds and quiet courage shaping their days. Janey, nineteen, is rebuilding her life with her baby daughter when a shadow from the past resurfaces. The story blends intimate family moments with community spirit, delivering warmth, tenderness, and steady suspense as friendships deepen and futures unfold amid village life.
Cinnamon Gardens
Nell’s English homecoming follows decades in Australia as she seeks to stabilize life for her three sons and herself. Sentiment and practicality collide as inheritance and new beginnings intersect with grown children stepping into independence. This instalment emphasizes resilience, generational dynamics, and the enduring pull of family ties, all wrapped in Jacobs’s signature blend of warmth, humor, and emotional honesty.
Saffron Lane
Nell settles into a life in Wiltshire with partner Angus and a mission to revitalise an abandoned street. Saffron Lane marries domestic ambition with a sense of community, inviting readers into a collaborative, hopeful project where neighbours become allies and personal dreams gain space to breathe. It’s a gentle, uplifting chapter that reinforces the idea that home is built piece by piece, with care from the people who share it.
Marrying a Stranger
Determined not to let a discovery slip away, Ben proposes marriage so that Megan can join him in Australia. Megan’s initial shock gives way to trust and tenderness as love negotiates distance, duty, and newly minted promises. The book explores commitment, authenticity, and the courage to make bold choices for a life together, even when the path isn’t simple or conventional.
Licence to Dream
In Australia, Ben’s dreams intersect with Meriel’s hopes as two very different yet compatible people share a house and a growing attraction. A testament to second chances, this instalment balances longing with practical decisions about family and future. The romance is grounded in real life—work, responsibility, and the stubborn wish to forge a joyful, workable partnership despite past heartbreaks.
The Wishing Well
Laura’s leap from Australia to England is propelled by longing and circumstance, and a chance encounter with a former journalist brings new possibilities. This tale of rebirth blends romance with mystery, as a life rebuilt around kindness, curiosity, and a little magic at the edge of a wishing well unfolds with warmth and intrigue.
Saving Willowbrook
Ella discovers her husband Miles plans to sell Willow Farm, threatening a family legacy. Her determination to safeguard the land leads to a new dream: transforming the property into a welcoming bed‑and‑breakfast. Rural life, practical enterprise, and the grit to fight for what matters drive this story, delivering heart and a hopeful blueprint for resilience in the face of change.
Family Connections
Peggy Wilkes’s life near Blackpool is reshaped as she moves beyond an abusive marriage toward independence. This tale of courage, sisterhood, and self‑reinvention mirrors the others in its focus on real‑world challenges, supportive communities, and the quiet power of choosing a brighter future. A fitting close to the collection, it reinforces the enduring belief that family and friendship can steady us through life’s storms.
