The BRAND NEW instalment in Della Galton's heartwarming Puddleduck Farm series. When life throws up the unexpected, can Phoebe hold strong? In the idyllic setting of the New Forest, talented vet Phoebe Dashwood envisions a picturesque life alongside her beloved fiancé.

However, the course of true love is fraught with unexpected hurdles. Career wise, Phoebe encounters a goat who is seemingly experiencing a phantom pregnancy, and a highly-strung talking parrot who pushes her professionalism to the limits.

Things take an unexpected turn for the worse when Phoebe is confronted with a glamorous love rival, and a surprise Valentine's Day 'date' to see a financial advisor! Can things get any worse? When tragedy strikes Phoebe realises that nothing in life should be taken for granted and fears she will lose everything she holds dear. Whilst her friends find their own happy endings, Phoebe is beset with doubts that she and Sam will ever find theirs.

Is love enough to carry them into the future they deserve?
