The path of unrequited love. It's such a heartbreaking journey. On a cold winter's day, Vanessa Blinkly stands at the back door of a Rata River farmhouse and peers inside. The villa is rundown, the people in it strangers, so why would her mother bring her here, away from her new home and the father who loves her? Just shy of sixteen, Liam O'Leary struggles with the intrusion of the new housekeeper and her brat of a daughter. The kid wears the chip on her shoulder with pride and won't do as she's told. What was his father thinking, employing someone with a child in tow? Over the years, Liam fascinates and infuriates Vanessa in equal measure. But as the truce they form settles into a semblance of normality, one reckless choice will affect their lives for years to come. Fate brought them together on a whisper. Will it now tear them apart? Book 2 in the standalone Clifton Falls companion series, Field of the White Snow is so much more than a coming of age, second chance story. All they needed were forty-eight sunsets. Contains sexual references.
