Story
Cara Truelove has always been a romantic, burying her head in books and dreaming of being swept off her feet by her very own Brontë hero. When she was a teenager, she believed boyfriend Seth to be a modern-day brooding Heathcliff. Fourteen years later, when Seth has proved to be more like Homer Simpson, Cara vows never to fall in love again and turns her back on romance for good. Leaving Seth behind, Cara secures a job as nanny at Moreland Hall on the Yorkshire Moors but is shocked to discover her new employer is none other than the tall, dark, and disturbingly handsome Mr Rochester.

In a Victorian terraced house in northwest London, two families unite in imperfect harmony. After five years of widowhood, Julia is deeply, unexpectedly in love.

Bringing together two households was never going to be easy, but Gwen’s struggle for independence, and the teenagers’ unexpected actions, will threaten Julia’s new happiness.
