Comforted by the gentle hum of the beehives at the bottom of the garden, Grace drains the last of her tea and walks slowly back towards the little hillside house she adores. Her marriage is over, but is it too late to start her life again?
Beekeeper Grace thought throwing out her cheating husband would be the hardest thing she ever did. But when she opens the door to a property developer one morning, it’s clear that keeping her beautiful home and garden – her only sanctuary throughout her miserable marriage – will be the greatest challenge of all…
Fleeing to her best friend at the farm next door, Grace blurts out all her problems, only to be overheard by Amos, a handsome, free-spirited visitor with a twinkle in his eye. Fascinated by Grace and her bees, Amos offers to stay in the village of Hope Corner, to help turn her home into a guest house in return for lessons on beekeeping.
As Grace shows Amos how to nurture a hive and harvest honeycomb without getting stung, he is charming but secretive. He never stays long in the same place after an incident in his past involving a mysterious woman named Maria. But as their eyes lock over a jar of homemade honey, Grace can’t help feeling that she’d really like him to stay…
Determined to dispel her growing suspicion that Amos is running from something serious, Grace goes in search of the truth about Maria. But when she finds it, will she still want Amos to put down roots in Hope Corner, and will they still have a house to return to?
No matter how far they travel, bees will always find their way home…

I'm a huge fan of Emma Davies' writing, and there was something about this cover that drove me straight towards this book.
I wasn't wrong to be lured in, its such a cosy story featuring Grace who is a keen beekeeper, and Amos who has been seen in a previous book of the authors and was great to see him given his own story.
There is just something about Amos, that really makes me love him, he has a great approach to life, and you finally get to see his backstory.
Grace in the meantime is trying to get divorced, but keep her much loved cottage and needs the help of her good friends and neighbours at Hope Blooms, to help her on this quest.
I loved getting to know Flora and her family, and the pictures in my minds eye of her flower farm were so vivid and colourful.
Some of Amos' scenes with an estate agent, as just pure gold, completely enjoyable.
I found I was whizzing through the pages, and loving every second of it. Plus I got learn new things about bees!
Thank you to Bookouture on Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
