A designer copes with a cottage renovation, a rescue greyhound, and a handsome home inspector in a novel by "the queen of uplifting, feel good romance" (A.J. Pearce, Sunday Times-bestselling author of the Emmy Lake Chronicles).

Anna, a newly qualified interior designer, has decided it's time to put her money and her expertise where her mouth is -- so she risks everything to buy a tiny but adorable cottage in desperate need of renovation.

Outside, the chocolate-box cottage is perfect, but inside, all is chaos. With a ladder for a staircase, no downstairs flooring, candles the only form of lighting, and a sleeping bag for a bed, Anna soon wonders if she's bitten off more than she can chew.

Her neighbor Chloe comes to the rescue, providing tea, wine, and sympathy -- and a recently rescued greyhound named Caroline. But just as Anna's starting to settle in, make new friends, and see the house transforming before her eyes, the impossible -- and impossibly good-looking -- Rob Hunter arrives on the scene and puts even more obstacles in her way...

Praise for Katie Fforde

"Witty writing and plotting." -- The New York Times Book Review

"Enormously enjoyable." -- Newsday

"Enough charm to entertain the most discerning fans." -- Kirkus Reviews
