Synopsis

When Chloe Carter swaps the chaos of London for the “peace” of rural Little Puddleton, she expects slow walks, fresh air, and maybe a charming sheepdog or two. What she gets instead is a crumbling Rose Cottage with plumbing older than her aunt's vintage handbag, a village full of deeply suspicious locals, and a self-appointed morality patrol led by the formidable Agnes.Armed with nothing but a bright pink suitcase, a flair for the dramatic, and an endless supply of prosecco, Chloe sets out to make this sleepy village her home—whether it’s ready for her or not. Between accidental feuds, glitter-fueled parties, and the occasional runaway badger, Chloe discovers that finding your place doesn’t mean fitting in—it means standing out.Witty, warm, and irresistibly chaotic, The Cottage is a sparkling celebration of second chances, unapologetic womanhood, and the glorious mess of starting over.

| ARC REVIEW | "Watching the two of them play made me remember, above all else, that no matter what icky things surrounded us in life, we needed to just shake it off and grab the happiness." The Cottage was quite a bit different to the normal romance books I read. Instead of it being early 20 to ear......more
