The Fire That Remains

Sometimes the hardest love is the one that comes after loss.

Hattie Mercer returned to Chipping Tharn for quiet.

After losing the man she loved, the small Cotswolds village offered a place to breathe again - a tiny florist shop, familiar streets, and neighbours who were kind enough not to ask too many questions.

Then Callum Reid arrived.

Callum worked beside Daniel for years. He knows exactly what Hattie lost. And he knows the promise he made the night everything changed may be the reason she'll never trust him.

Leaving Chipping Tharn would be easier.
But walking away from Hattie was never an option.

As village life pulls them back into its familiar rhythms - broken shop signs, stormy nights, and far too many community fundraisers - the truth between them becomes impossible to ignore.

Because loving someone new doesn't mean forgetting the past.

But it might mean learning how to live with it.

Set in the heart of the Cotswolds, The Fire that Remains is the third book in the cosy Chipping Tharn romance series - a heartfelt story about grief, healing, and the courage it takes to choose love again.
