Sometimes nature's just got to take its course . . .
When Kit Lavery's father dies, he is forced to return home after a ten-year stint in Australia to sort out his affairs. A well known conservationist and champion of wildlife, Rupert Lavery has left behind a nature reserve in Devon, staffed by two very determined women; Elizabeth Punch and Jess Wetherby, both of whom are committed to keeping his work alive.
As if these two women weren't enough of a match for him, Kit falls under the spell of the stunningly beautiful Jinty O'Hare, niece of the local Master of Foxhounds. All he wants to do is sell his father's estate quickly and get back to Australia . . . or so he thinks.
When a buyer is found for the estate, Kit is torn. Will he stay or will he go? Perhaps Wilson the Gloucester Old Spot pig has the answers. In moments of stress and high anxiety, she seems to be the only one who will listen to the outpourings of a bewildered Kit Lavery . . .
