She might have won the farm, but has she won his heart?
"Have you been yearning for a simpler way of life?
As the winner of Lilac Tree Farm, you could soon be living in the heart of the countryside, in a gorgeous, rustic, four-bed cottage with a large kitchen garden, an orchard, woodland with its very own stream and wildflower meadows - a perfect place to raise a family. Buy a ticket today"
City girl Dulcie Fairfax can't believe her luck when she wins an actual farm. Anxious to begin her idyllic new life in the country, she anticipates barefoot strolls through wildflower meadows, and searching the hedgerows for warm brown eggs. However, she is woefully unprepared for the reality of what she is about to face. To add to her woes, the brooding and handsome former owner lives at the end of the lane, and he doesn't seem to like her very much.
When Otto Yok is forced to give up his prestigious job as a chef in a top London restaurant to look after his ailing father, he never thought he'd have to raffle off the family farm to pay off his dad's debts. Unable to cope with someone else living in Lilac Tree Farm, Otto isn't exactly friendly to the new owner, but neither can he stand by and watch her struggle. And it doesn't help his mood that he finds Dulcie incredibly attractive, or that he expects her to throw in the towel at any minute.
Can out-of-her-depth Dulcie bring herself to accept the help that is so reluctantly offered, or should she say goodbye to her dream and leave the farm - and the man - she has fallen in love with?
