Books like A Winter's Tale by Trisha Ashley
Sophy Winter, a hard‑pressed single mother, unexpectedly inherits Winter's End, a derelict manor in the Lancashire countryside. The promise of a new life is tempered by the estate’s dilapidated condition and the quirky inhabitants who have made it home. As Sophy assembles a team of staff, she faces the practical challenges of restoration, the fitful presence of an ancestral ghost, and the scrutiny of the local village of Sticklepond. Amidst the work, a budding romance with charming Jack Lewis and a quiet connection with the manor’s head gardener, Seth, add layers of affection and intrigue. The story blends humor, domestic romance, and the looming task of preserving a historic house.
