William and Amy Ashurst are typical townies, dedicated professionals at the top of their tree, with two adorable children and an au pair who cooks, cleans and cares for them all. Then one day Will collapses on his way into work and he decides he's never going back. So it is that, three months later, Amy is standing outside Helmshill Grange, a sullen monstrosity of a house, deep in the Yorkshire moors, with their own land as far as the eye can see. It's what William says he's always wanted, which is slightly worrying as he couldn't be bothered to do his own gardening in Notting Hill, and would rather pick up a book than a spade. Within days, Will's traded in their brand new Audi for a clapped out Land Rover, and brought home chickens, goats, sheep, a serial-killer cat and a mad dog. Then tragedy strikes and Amy learns that it's one thing living the dream, but when the dream's not your own, how long can it last?

Welcome To The Real World
Same author's warm British humour and opposites-attract pairing, but this one's a lighter showbiz romcom with a guaranteed happy ending instead of grief.
Wrapped up in You
Same author, same cosy voice and mismatched couple, though it swaps rural upheaval and bereavement for a festive travel romance with a hopeful finish.
Good Girl Complex
Keeps the small-town setting and opposites-attract clash, but shifts to a much steamier college-age romance with no family grief.
Her Private Avenger
Small-town secrets and a reluctant pairing again, only here it's a murder investigation with explicit heat and violence rather than domestic upheaval.
Maybe not
Shares the emotional weight of illness and loss plus opposites-attract tension, but centres on a young couple and far more open-door scenes.
Harvest Season
Another remote small-town outsider story, yet far darker and much more explicit, with murder and suspense driving it rather than quiet family drama.
