About this listen
The next instalment in the Skylarks series from bestseller Helen Rolfe
A hidden secret
Live every day as if it were your last – that’s the motto Bess has lived by since her father died unexpectedly. As a critical care paramedic, Bess sees every day just how easily life can be taken away. But carefree living has risks, and as Bess’s debts mount, she discovers her actions could have terrible consequences…
An unexpected arrival
Nothing gives Gio more joy than his work saving lives in the fire service. And on the days when his call-outs put him in the path of the air ambulance, and one paramedic in particular, things are pretty perfect. Until Gio’s world is spun on its head, first by the arrival of his estranged mother on his doorstep, and then by an accident that could put his career on hold indefinitely.
A new beginning?
Gio and Bess have always worked well together, but could they be the solution to each other’s problems beyond the frontline as well? And will they let their guard down enough to give each other a chance before snow falls over Whistlestop River?
It’s time for the Skylarks to drop everything and take to the skies again in this gorgeous new book from Helen Rolfe, perfect for fans of Cathy Bramley and Jo Bartlett.

Usually enjoy this author; however …….
Characters are engaging and Beth’s career interesting but I felt cheated! My expectation was a love story between Bess and Gio. It REALLY is the story of a recovering alcoholic and her PAST mistakes. Too much time spent on Gio’s distrust of his mother and his memories and Bess’ financial situation. At least 15 chapters too long!! The story I was interested in happened BETWEEN chapters 30 and 31 (the last 2 chapters)! Bess & Gio supposedly were good friends but there was little evidence of “good” friends of 40 year olds. Rather their interpretations interactions were more like teenagers. Disappointing though I probably will try one more Helen Rolf’s books!
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
