The Trouble with Trust

Born and raised in America, Rose never expected to inherit a quaint English cottage tucked away in the Cotswolds. But when Gate Cottage is left to her by a grandmother she never knew, she travels across the Atlantic to claim it—and is instantly enchanted. With ivy-covered walls, hidden nooks, and the scent of old roses in the air, it's everything she didn’t know she was missing. She soon meets Wildon, the enigmatic heir of the surrounding estate. Their connection is instant, undeniable... and complicated. Wildon's ambitions hinge on acquiring Gate Cottage, but Rose has fallen in love—with the house, the land, and the man who wants her cottage. As their relationship deepens, Rose begins to wonder: is Wildon drawn to her, or to what she owns? When whispers of a long-buried family rift emerge, Rose is determined to uncover the truth behind her father’s estrangement from his mother. What she finds could change everything she thought she knew—about her family, her inheritance, and her heart.
