Books like Love For A Stranger by Jane Donnelly


Louise, who sees herself as an "ugly duckling," takes a new job as an interior decorator and moves to the old manor house of Tir Glyn in Wales. Her assignment is meant to distract her from her financial-minded fiancé, Barry. At Tir Glyn she encounters Tom Reading, the groundskeeper, whose attractiveness and mysterious secret instantly capture her interest. By the time she learns the truth, she is already in love and has agreed to a marriage of convenience with him, despite the plans that had been made. The story explores themes of self‑perception, unexpected romance, and the tug between financial security and heartfelt desire as Louise navigates her new surroundings and the secrets of those around her.
