The Ticklemore Treasure Trove (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781739910358)

Nell Chapman has always assumed that one of her twin sons would help run her antique shop once they finished university. However, she discovers the boys have other plans when they announce they're going backpacking for a year, leaving Nell feeling bereft and lonely.

Not only that, but with their father (her lying, cheating ex-husband) back on the scene and demanding half of the business, there might not be anything left for her boys to help manage when they return.

However, she hasn't counted on the unexpected support of local landscape artist, Silas Long. And neither has she considered the possibility she might fall in love again - especially since Silas is so distant and moody, and has his own cross to bear.

Should Nell take a chance and risk her heart, or should she leave well alone? And why has Silas painted her portrait if he doesn't feel anything for her?
