Poor Rose has lost her beloved teaching job and isn’t fully on board with fiancé Ollie’s plans for their future together in London. So when she hears that her elderly Aunt Jean has had a bad fall in the village she spent happy summers growing up in, Rose can’t catch the train to Blossom Heath quick enough. Being back in rural Sussex opens up unexpected offers of work and friendship - add to the mix strapping farmer, Jake, and a rescue dog in need of a home, and Rose feels the draw of her old life slowly slipping away. Oh, to live in Blossom Heath! This postcard-perfect country village is just one of many reasons to fall in love with Julie Haworth’s romantic novel. Long walks in the countryside, cosy evenings in the village pub and a heart-warming sense of community - Haworth captures the beauty and comfort of rural living with ease. Each adorable character welcomes Rose back into their lives with kindness…handsome Jake being especially attentive to her needs! Alongside the will-they-won’t-they romantic thread, there’s plenty of side drama to keep the pages turning: missing dogs and trips to the hospital add a splash of spice when it’s needed. Always By Your Side is a joyful, life-affirming story that whisks you away to a gentle corner of England and reminds you to listen to your heart, even when faced with the hardest decisions life can throw at you. What a gorgeous, read-in-one-sitting debut.

When school teacher Rose loses her dream job at a London primary school, her self-confidence takes a knock. Worse still, her stockbroker fiancé, Ollie, sees it as the perfect opportunity for her to join his firm, which only adds to the feelings Rose has that their relationship might be coming to an end.
An unexpected phone call, and an elderly aunt who’s taken a fall, means Rose must drop everything – including Ollie - and return to Blossom Heath, the Sussex village she grew up in.
With no job to rush home to, Rose decides to stay in Blossom Heath for the Summer, trading London for the idyllic countryside. Here Rose finds herself reconnecting to the village life of her childhood in more ways than one, including falling head-over-heels for local farmer, Jake.
So when her London life comes calling, Rose is faced with an impossible choice… to return to the high-pressure life of her past, or embrace the joy of a new life in the country.
Bursting with romance and charm, Always By Your Side is the perfect uplifting Summer read for fans of The Switch and Rescue Me, from an exciting new voice in women’s fiction.
