The Winder Path

Tired of losing herself in dysfunctional relationships, veterinarian Gillian Pembury is searching for a peaceful place to call home. She hopes to find it in the isolated, rural village of Blackford in the heart of Northern England—even if it means abandoning any hope of a lesbian social life.

Gillian is immediately entranced by the moist green pastures, sparkling waterfalls and spectacular panoramas surrounding her. And with tall, robust farmwoman Sandi Helton, whose strong, gentle hands are as adept at lifting full-grown sheep as they are at comforting newborn lambs.

Discovering that the intense attraction is mutual, Gillian and Sandi soon embark upon a passionate path that seems to mirror the overwhelming beauty of the timeless land around them. But have they forgotten that the temperamental moorland climate can be as changeable as a woman's heart—and the hidden cliffs as dangerous as falling in love?
