Like Lost Sheep: A Riverside Story unfolds in a quiet English town where romance, secrets, and social circles collide by the water’s edge. Dive into a tale of love tested by truth, pride, and the pull of family duty.
In these pages, a tense evening near Lonefield Grange sets the stage for a clash between passion and propriety. As conversations drift between affection and accusation, readers glimpse the fragile balance between truth and appearance in a world of deep loyalties and sharp tongues. The setting—river, meadow, and a moonlit boat—frames a story that examines how far people will go to protect their standing, and what it costs when affection runs up against obligation.
