The Thing with Wings

A Love on the Land Novella

A sharp-tongued widow finds herself snowbound with her taciturn neighbour when an accident lands her on his doorstep.

Arabella Darling has had her fill of unreliable men - a lifetime of fathers, husbands, and neighbours have taught her to trust no one, so it is with the utmost reluctance that she finds herself needing to ask her neighbour for his help with a legal matter. When an accident turns her simple request into days snowed-in together, she finds herself reexamining the man she had already judged and dismissed.

Casper Bone didn’t think country life could be more complicated than life as a London solicitor, but that was before his neighbour, and thorn-in-his side, Arabella landed herself bottom-first on his lane. Now, he’s caring for her in his own house while the snow piles up around them and all his long-held assumptions melt away.

Their mutual aversion is no match for a few days of firelight talks and tender caretaking, never mind the attraction that crackles between them, but will it be enough time for love to bloom?

Reviews

“This one felt perfectly tender and romantic for these two, with a really gripping commentary on loneliness. Casper and Arabella are two individuals who have thrived in their solitude, so letting someone in is a huge hurdle. This balanced the emotional stakes of these two bearing their souls, with hot intimacy scenes that left me swooning. A beautiful novella and a really satisfying story for these highly anticipated characters.”

“Sometimes it takes a perfect snowstorm, an icy path, a twisted ankle and an exceptional bed to bring these two wary hearts together.”

“Our two mains are in their fifties and I loved that with their age came honesty, maturity, and gentleness. I fell head over heels in love with them and would have early lapped up 100 more pages of conversation between them”
