When artist Violet Brooke leaves her engagement ring on top of a Chinese wedding cabinet and runs away from the trendy apartment in London’s Brick Lane, there’s only one place to go - Sunrise Cottage.

The last thing she needs is romance. Then handsome antique dealer Max Finch shows up in the middle of a field, and the problem is, he’s impossible to resist.
