Rosamunde Pilcher: Rosen im Sturm (1999)

London businessman Robert Cummings meets his partner Barbara Harding's father only when she comes to his Devon estate, Parnham House, to reconcile on his deathbed, having blamed him for three years for her mother's fatal car accident, which he insists was suicide. Against Robert's professional advice, they follow his dying wish, carrying on the stud-farm, which requires lots of urgent learning.
