Gift from Hideaway House - Alexandra Barber

A heart-warming tale of love, loss and second chances, where the past and present intertwine to heal even the most broken of hearts…

When Madison agrees to take a break on the Isle of Wight, it's against her better instincts. In exchange for offering a little advice to the owner of a cash-strapped country manor, she's gifted the use of a nearby holiday home. Begrudgingly, she admits it's a good opportunity to find out if her dream of becoming a professional events organiser could actually turn into reality. From the outset, Hideaway House feels like the perfect place to build her confidence and mend her wounded spirit.

As Madison untangles the mystery of a two-hundred-year-old love story still lingering in the house's garden, she finds herself forming an unlikely friendship with the somewhat obstinate owner of The Manor. The main problem, however, is his son, Sebastian, who seems to have taken an instant dislike to Madison and is determined to put a stop to all of her proposals.

With her heart and her future both on the line, can Madison find the courage to do what's best for The Major, his home and ultimately herself, all while dealing with feelings she never saw coming?

A tale of long-buried secrets, a love that refuses to fade and the bravery it takes to begin again. A Gift from Hideaway House is a tender story of healing, hope and the family we find when we least expect it.
