Anne Flint, a csinos cselédlány jobb életre vágyik a vidéki udvarháznál, és amikor a sors összehozza a helybeli uraság lányával, nem áll ellen a kísértésnek, hogy együtt szökjenek el Londonba az ifjú arisztokrata hölgy csábítójának társaságában. Számításaikat egy váratlan tragédia egy csapásra keresztülhúzza, és Anne kénytelen megtapasztalni, hogy egy magányos leány milyen könnyen játékszerévé válhat gonosz kerítőknek, felelőtlen uraságoknak. Élete egykori helyszínére éppen új lakó költözik. Kétszáz év múlva Harry Flint negyvenes történelemtanár válása után menekül az öreg malomházba, az újrakezdés reményében. Nem is sejti, hogy szenvedélye, a családfakutatás milyen megdöbbentő titkok felfedezéséhez vezeti majd. Mint ahogy azt sem, hogy új szomszédnője lehet az, aki visszaadja számára a boldog szerelembe vetett hitet... Alan Titchmarsh regénye szerelmek, árulások, intrikák és egy rejtélyes gyilkosság története, amelynek szereplői, legyenek akár a múlt nyughatatlan szellemei, akár a jelenkor kiábrándult romantikusai, végül mindannyian rátalálnak arra, akit kerestek.

Following the death of his father, the owner of East Yarmouth Animal Sanctuary, Kit Lavery returns to Britain from Australia to sort out his father's affairs. His visit is intended to be brief, but on arrival at the down-at-heel animal sanctuary, Kit finds it staffed by two very determined women. Elizabeth Punch and Jess Wetherby. Elizabeth is a woman with a mission - to save animals from inconsiderate man. And Jess Supple has one burning desire - to keep alive the work of the old man who took her under his wing when she was a placard-waving hunt saboteur. As the two women cajole, berate and demand that Kit stay and carry on his father's good work, he finds life becoming increasingly complicated. And when GM crop trials are proposed in the fields surrounding his farm, his scruples are tested to the limit, and not everyone is happy with his decision. It seems that blood may be spilt before the Animal Sanctuary, with its assorted inhabitants, is out of the woods...
