What to expect

'Her books make my heart sing each and every time…another wonderful book that I just wanted to crawl right into and stay there' ★★★★★

You don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone…

Bets Fowler has always been perfectly fine living her life firmly within the borders of her tiny village. But when her ex, Jack, returns and is suddenly everywhere she goes, she realises just how small the parameters of her existence have become, and starts to step outside her comfort zone.

Jack Ashcroft has always sought out a bigger life than he thought Wilsgrave could afford, but when a knockback sends him home, and back into Bets’ orbit, he comes to see that the world he once inhabited has a lot more to offer than he ever realised, and that leaving might have been the biggest mistake he ever made.

Now, as Bets and Jack find themselves thrown together at every turn, the exes see what was and what could be in an entirely new light…
