Um þessa rafbók
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
