Surviving betrayal isn’t easy—especially when the blow comes from the closest person of all: the one you dreamed of a future with and planned to build a family with.
But Holly won’t let herself completely fall apart. Packing her things, she leaves bustling London for her hometown of Bourton-on-the-Water to recover and heal her emotional wounds. There, warmed by bright memories of her youth, she suddenly decides to buy the confectionery where she once worked as a teenager.
Only running even such a cozy shop turns out to be far from “sweet,” as she’d imagined. Problems come one after another: first the front door jams, then the roof starts leaking, then an inspector arrives for an inspection… Has Holly made the biggest mistake of all? And yet it’s so important to her to start her life over—with a clean slate.
