About this ebook
Welcome to Willoughby Close… a charming cluster of cozy cottages, each with a story to tell and a happy ending to deliver…
After her husband unexpectedly dies, Ava moves to Willoughby Close, trying to keep her chin up and herself to herself as she’s always done—not answering questions, not making friends, and not seeing much of a future. Her marriage was far from perfect, but it offered her a much-needed security that has now been ripped away. She’s not sure what to do now that she’s thirty-five, widowed, penniless… and unexpectedly pregnant with her late husband’s child.
Jace Tucker is the over-the-top sexy caretaker of Willoughby Manor, and he can see beneath Ava's glamor girl act to the hurt she's been hiding for so long. She has secrets for a reason—and so does he. The last thing she needs right now is a fling with a man who hides a past as regrettable as her own.
But with a baby to think about, and neighbors determined to be her friends, Ava finds herself starting to change and even more alarmingly, beginning to hope. Can Willoughby Close work its everyday magic on a woman like her? And when the past comes calling for both her and Jace, will they have to answer for their previous mistakes?

This is the first book I have read in this series but I found it easy to read as a stand-alone. Ava was married to a much older man, a millionaire, for five years. When her husband dies she finds out that he has left her a pittance in his will, the same amount as their new part-time cleaner, and his grown-up children waste no time in chucking her out of the family mansion. Ava moves into a cottage in Willoughby Close where she gets to know the other residents and the caretaker Jace. But for the first time Ava, a woman who has relied on her looks and charm for most of her life, is trying to stand on her own without a man to fix things. Can she find a job and make some friends? I liked this but I felt there were a lot of loose ends that didn't get tied up (maybe fodder for the next book in the series) and the book ended very abruptly. Excellent value for a kindle freebie, it was pleasant enough but didn't really have much of a plot.
