Love will find a way. A wonderfully romantic novel from the No. 1 Sunday Times bestselling author of Recipe for Love, A French Affair and The Perfect Match.
Polly is in her thirties, lives in a small town, has a cat and a Rayburn oven on which she loves to cook.
What more could she need? Certainly not a man.
Besides, Polly’s life is complicated enough. She has her job at the Whole Nut café and a fledgling pottery career she’s trying to get off the ground.
And then she meets David, and before she knows it he has turned her life and all her sensible plans upside down.
Should she yield to his temptations or resist?
After all, and as she has told her mother and friends, love is over-rated. Isn’t it?
