What to expect
Brand new from Sarah Hope, bestselling author of Welcome to Pennycress Inn ☀️ 'Feel-good, romantic perfection - a warm hug in book form!' Jessica Redland
Is this just a summer romance or could it be more? 💕
Nicola grew up at Pennycress Inn, in the beautiful Cotswold village of Meadowfield, and now she’s come full circle by landing a job there. After a difficult few months, she’s happy to be back in the place she loves and calls home.
The whole village is looking forward to the annual summer carnival, and Nicola is charged with asking the local farmers to lend their tractors and trailers for the occasion. It’s an easy task – until she meets the new owner of Little Mead Farm, who stubbornly refuses to help.
On sabbatical from his City job for the summer, Charlie wants to do up his late uncle’s farm and put it on the market as soon as possible. The place might have been in his family for generations but country life is simply not for him. He has no time for whatever the villagers are up to.
When Nicola and Charlie meet, sparks fly – and unexpected feelings grow. Soon there’s more at stake in Meadowfield than the success of the carnival. But whatever happens between them, this is just a summer romance… isn’t it?
A gorgeously romantic and feelgood summer read set in the Cotswolds, for fans of Laurie Gilmore, Sarah Morgan and Heidi Swain - it'll definitely put a smile on your face
