Fran has always wanted to be a farmer. And now it looks as if her childhood dream is about to come true. She has just moved to her aunt's beautiful but very run-down farm in the Cotswolds. If she can turn the place around in a year, the farm will be hers. But Fran knows nothing about farming. She might even be afraid of cows. She'll need help, not just from her best friend Issi, but also from her wealthy and very eligible neighbour - who might just have his own reasons for being so supportive.
