Full Description
Love is the last thing on Jasmine Clarke's mind when she arrives in Kangaroo Ridge with a broken heart. But then she meets Felix Carrington.
Felix helps run his family's wedding venue business at Carrington Farm. His real passion, though, is taking glorious shots of the local region.
And it's through an unlikely friendship with 84-year-old Winnifred Knightly that Felix is able to take frequent photos at his favourite place, Peppercorn House, with all its faded grandeur and mysterious history.
Winnifred still grieves over the losses of her childhood but in her long life she's learned to be grateful for the present. She believes herself to be an excellent matchmaker and plots to bring her 'adopted grandson' Felix and Jasmine, her favourite aged-care worker, together as her final project.
But buried secrets and unhealed family scars threaten Winnifred's plans - as Felix and Jasmine must soon come to understand.
