Description

KATIE FFORDE lives in the beautiful Cotswold countryside with her family, and is a true country girl at heart. Each of her books explores a different profession or background and her research has helped her bring these to life. She's been a porter in an auction house, tried her hand at pottery, refurbished furniture, delved behind the scenes of a dating website, and she's even been on a Ray Mears survival course. She loves being a writer; to her there isn't a more satisfying and pleasing thing to do. She particularly enjoys writing love stories. She believes falling in love is the best thing in the world, and she wants all her characters to experience it, and her readers to share their stories.xa0To find out more about Katie Fforde step into her world at www.katiefforde.com, visit her on Facebook and follow her on Twitter @KatieFforde.

  • But she barely has time to get to grips with the galley before she finds herself with a lot on her plate.
  • Rebecca is heavily pregnant and is thrilled to have her friend on board doing most of the work. Then there’s Emily’s competitive and jealous kitchen assistant who thinks
  • she
  • should be head-cook, not Emily.
  • And there’s Alasdair, the handsome local doctor who Emily is desperately trying not to notice.
  • Because if she falls in love with him, as he appears to be falling for her, will she ever want her old life back again?

Wish I could experience a Scottish summer at sea!

Another winner from Katie Fforde! Never knew there were such things as puffer boats in Scotland- sounds like a lot of fun.
