Synopsis

The heartwarming, brand-new novel from Sunday Times bestselling author Jill Mansell
'Adorable characters, wonderful setting, fabulous plot lines . . . Loved every page' Milly Johnson

'Sparkle and wit with a hint of wisdom makes for a very satisfying read . . . Jill Mansell is the new Jilly Cooper' Katie Fforde

'Full of friendship and love, and the most delicious happy ever after' Jo Thomas

Nick is the most intriguing man Nella has met in a while. He's a 9 in the looks department (no one gets a 10), he makes her laugh, and he keeps her company when she ends up in A&E. But they live hundreds of miles apart.

Then Nella loses her job. There's a perfect role on offer at a Cotswolds holiday retreat. The catch is that her boss would be Nick. And that makes Nick the one man she can't risk falling in love with.

While Nella struggles with her feelings, a Hollywood star has found a haven at the retreat. Lizzie's sworn off people - especially men - until her friendly new neighbours entice her out of her shell. Maybe she needs a flirtation - with gorgeous Nick, perhaps? Not with taciturn local Matthew, though, who definitely isn't a member of her fan club. Then an astonishing secret revealed changes everything . . .

The scene is set for a fabulous new novel full of friendship, warmth and romance.

Goodreads review by Srivalli on January 30, 2025

3.8 Stars One Liner: Quite a bit of funny drama and OTT moments Nella meets Nick, an intriguing man she rates 9 before she ends up in the A&E. Too bad they live in different regions. However, when Nella loses her job, she takes up Nick’s offer to join his company, a Cotswolds holiday retreat. Howeve......more

In dit boek maken we kennis met on......more

Wanneer Nella Nick ontmoet, weet ze één ding zeker: dit is de meest intrigerende man, die ze sinds tijden heeft ontmoet.
