Sisters at war, a mum on the pull and a pub on the brink. Can they fix what’s broken before it’s too late?
Brooke Padgett is the landlady of The Highwayman’s Drop in the Yorkshire village of Leyholme. Commitment-averse and obsessed with work, she isn’t looking for anything serious – and she certainly isn’t interested in the pub’s new barman, gorgeous single dad Hayden. Or is she?
Older sister Rhianna Garrett has fled wealthy husband James after discovering his infidelity. As she moves back to the family pub with her children in tow, it’s clear that living together will be tricky for these very different sisters.
Meanwhile, their widowed mum Janey is keen to rejoin the dating scene. But a lot has changed since her youth – and she’ll need the help of her girls.
The sisters grow closer when they join forces to help Janey and revive the pub’s fortunes. But then Brooke discovers Rhianna is hiding a secret that changes everything…
Can Brooke and Rhianna save The Highwayman’s Drop, their mum’s love life – and their relationship?
