"Some things can't wait indeed..." Elias leaned just slightly closer. "But maybe some moments are worth bad timing," he murmured, his tone carrying a weight that made her chest tighten.
"What do you mean?" Cora stifled a whimper.
He let out a quiet breath, eyes still on hers as his hand fell to his side, "This moment. Us. It'll find its time."

When Cora Whitmore leaves behind a high-stress publishing job and a broken engagement, all she wants is stillness. Inheriting her late aunt's ramshackle countryside cottage seems like a sign; from whom, she's not sure, but it comes with ivy-covered walls, creaky floors, and a garden overrun with wild things.
Just across the fence lives Elias Tidley, a reclusive goat keeper who spends his days making goat milk soap, honeyed cheeses and speaking mostly to animals. Stoic, grounded, and unreadable, he's everything Cora isn't, and yet somehow, he sees her. Not the version she tried to be in the city, but who she is now: messy, uncertain, and just beginning to bloom again.
With help from a few mischievous goats and a community that quietly welcomes her in, Cora starts to imagine a life made of early peaceful mornings, soft-spoken companionship, and small, steady joys. But as the seasons shift and their bond deepens, Cora must decide whether she's brave enough to stay. For the land, for herself and for the man who never asked her to change a single thing.?
🔅Rated PG: Suitable for all ages.
