Official synopsis Publisher
Fifteen years is a long time to wait for a marriage proposal, but it seems that Isobel Jenkin’s patience has finally paid off. Lawrence Clayton is getting married but – to Izzie’s total devastation – it’s not to her but to another woman whom he’d been secretly dating behind her back. When he mindlessly flaunts his new bride, Izzie decides enough is enough. But how can she put his betrayal behind her and start afresh?
Izzie could never have predicted that helping an elderly lady find her way back to her residential home would provide the answer. The owner of the home, Mrs Johnson, instantly recognises Izzie’s worth and offers her a job. But not everyone in the establishment is what they seem and there are those who are using the atmosphere of openness and trust to their own selfish advantage. Izzie soon finds she’s embroiled in devious goings-on she could never have anticipated.
