The village of Stamford, the quintessential chocolate box English scene, seemed an impossible dream for foster kid Toby Prentiss.
Now he’s found a home among the haystacks and village fairs as the General Manager for the Duck and Drake Hotel.
With the fears and demons from his youth hidden away in this bucolic oasis, he’s very protective of who he lets in.
Until he stumbles across shirtless carpenter Rain Engel building the hotel’s new custom-designed bar.
Working in the countryside, Rain prepared to face his biggest fear: sheep.
He didn’t expect to deal with his second biggest fear: commitment.
Toby’s controlled, tough guy façade coupled with his “find happiness where you can” optimism calls to Rain like nothing before.
While Rain may be an exhibitionist, his romantic history forces him to hold his emotions close.
As their relationship develops, secrets from their pasts drive a wedge between them: the ex-boyfriend who tore apart Rain’s trust and Toby's history with the law.
But can the secrets hiding among the quirky villagers bring them together?
With missing sheep, pole dancing at the winter festival, and a crippling drought, everyone is waiting for Rain.
