The Widow of Wakeford (The Wakeford Chronicles Book 1)

As the first snow of winter falls in the graveyard, Cassandra finds herself in a heart breaking situation…

It’s the approach to Christmas in the village of Wakeford and what should be the happiest time of the year is marred by the death of Lady Cassandra Bellingham’s husband, Oliver. The fate of her beloved family home, Marshfield Manor, is tossed to the wind as she discovers upon his death that he has frittered all the family fortune away. She must now summon up the strength to hold everything together; after all, she has a young daughter and an aged aunt to care for. The only thing that is now legally hers is the little cottage in Wakeford where she and the Lord once conducted a passionate affair whilst his first wife lay sick on her death bed. As a consequence, some of the villagers have never forgiven her and nor have most of the staff at the manor house. Cassandra’s appearance in Wakeford will have a far reaching effect on certain people living in the village as she encroaches on their lives, even those who despise her.

Outcast and unwelcome in Wakeford, Cassandra fights for survival and before the chiming of Christmas bells, she realises she has a very important decision to make…
