Jill knocks it right out of the park with this fabulous story of love and friendship, Milly Johnson.


One minute, Lou is happily employed, with a perfect flat. The next, her home and job have gone. Suddenly, she has to start over.


The last thing Lou wants is to move to a tiny Cotswolds village. She certainly doesn't intend to work for curmudgeonly eighty-year-old Edgar Allsopp. But Edgar is about to make her the kind of promise nobody could ignore. In return, she secretly vows to help him fall in love with life again.


Foxwell is also home to Remy, whose charm and charisma are proving hard to ignore. But Lou hasn't recovered from the last time she fell for a charmer. She needs a distraction—and luckily, one is about to turn up.


Secrets never stay hidden for long in Foxwell, nor are promises always kept. And no one could guess what lies ahead. . . .
