Hope Appleby has spent her life surviving. In and out of care, shaped by loss and unanswered questions, she's learned not to expect too much from people — or from love. When another relationship falls apart, Hope returns to the hometown she once fled, searching for the truth about her mother's death and a chance to begin again.
A job at a local care home gives Hope purpose and structure, caring for residents who remind her that kindness still matters. Then she reconnects with Alec, a familiar face from her past, whose own life is defined by responsibility and sacrifice. Drawn together by compassion as much as chemistry, their connection feels real... and frighteningly hopeful.
As their romance intensifies, dark forces and buried secrets threaten to tear them apart, If they are to have a chance of a life together, these secrets must finally be faced.
Perfect for fans of Jojo Moyes and Jill Mansell, Hope Begins is a heart-wrenching contemporary women's fiction novel about family, loss and the nature of love.
