__________

Anna has risked everything to buy and renovate her tiny but beautiful cottage set in the sleepy village of Amberford.

The outside is perfect, but inside all is chaos: with a ladder for a staircase, no downstairs flooring, and only candles for lighting.

It's no wonder that Anna's soon wondering whether she's bitten off more than she can chew.

Her neighbour Chloe comes to the rescue: providing wine, sympathy and a rescue greyhound: Caroline!

But just as Anna's starting to believe she's found the perfect idyll, good-looking but impossible Rob Hunter arrives on the scene, putting up more obstacles than Anna can deal with.

Can Anna make this work? Can she have her dream house and win round the perfect man?__________

About the author

Katie Fforde

Katie Fforde lives in the beautiful Cotswold countryside with her family, and is a true country girl at heart. Each of her books explores a different profession or background and her research has helped her bring these to life. She’s been a porter in an auction house, tried her hand at pottery, refurbished furniture, delved behind the scenes of a dating website, and she's even been on a Ray Mears survival course. She loves being a writer; to her there isn’t a more satisfying and pleasing thing to do. She particularly enjoys writing love stories. She believes falling in love is the best thing in the world, and she wants all her characters to experience it, and her readers to share their stories.
