Wild Swimming at Croftwood Lake
Nora Hartford, successful potter and keen wild-swimmer, has moved to beautiful Croftwood, leaving Bristol and a twenty-year relationship behind her. Finally living life on her own terms, the last thing she wants is another relationship — until she meets the brooding aristocrat who owns the secluded lake on the far side of the woods.
Lord Archie Harrington's ancestral estate is crumbling around his ears. With the roof falling in and an empty bank account, discovering a trespasser in his lake is the last thing he needs. Instead, it might be the solution to saving Croftwood Court—and his lonely heart.
As their connection deepens beside the tranquil waters, their lives away from the lake couldn't be more different. Archie dreams of preserving his family legacy while Nora fears losing the independence she's fought so hard to achieve.
Can they find a way to build a life together without surrendering the very things that brought them together in the first place?
Join Archie, Nora and the other Croftwood residents for a summer of wild-swimming, celebrations and new beginnings!
