When her father falls ill, Billie returns home to the Yorkshire farm which she left behind for life in London. The transition back to country lass from city girl isn't easy, not least because leaving London means leaving her relationship with Joely Chevalier, just as it was heating up.

And when she gets to Yorkshire, Billie's shocked to discover the family dairy farm is in dire straits – the last thing Billie expected was a return to the life of a farmer but it isn't long before she's up at 5am with manure up to her wellies.

Can Billie must find a way to keep the cows happy, save the farm and save herself…
