Welcome to your new cottage in the country – complete with grumpy vet, village gossip and a very muddy dog . . .

Heartbroken city girl Ella has retreated to her godmother’s countryside home, determined to heal in peace.

But the village locals – and a very mischievous Labrador named Tess – have other plans. As she’s forced into wellies and fresh air, Ella meets people who make her question everything – and everyone – she thought she wanted.

And when an unexpected face from her past appears, Ella is faced with a choice: return home to the future she always dreamed of, or take a leap of faith and follow the muddy pawprints towards a life – and love – she never expected to find…

From the globally bestselling author comes a gorgeously romantic tale set in an idyllic countryside village – perfect for fans of Phillipa Ashley, Sarah Morgan and Jill Mansell.

*Previously published under the name Jules Wake.*
