Laura wants to shake things up. She’s thirty-eight, and has been living in her parents’ house since her divorce last year. Her siblings seem to have got their lives together: successful careers, happy marriages, beautiful children.

Laura’s determined to prove herself. And buying the beautiful Pennycress Inn in the idyllic Cotswolds village of Meadowfield could be just the way to do it.

But getting the inn ready for its first guests proves easier said than done! With crumbling walls, dangerous woodwork and loose roof tiles, not to mention unfriendly locals and even errant sheep, Laura soon fears she’s made the wrong choice.

Luckily a friendly face is on hand in the form of gorgeous chef, Jackson. But is he too good to be true? And just why are the villagers so against her?

Can Laura turn her life around and get the fresh start she longs for at Pennycress Inn?

Welcome to Nettleford, a small but bustling town in the heart of the Cotswolds

With her Divorce-iversary looming, the last thing Bea Thompson, owner of Nettleford’s charming bookshop, needs is to play teacher to newbie resident and shopkeeper Scott Harrison.

But when Bea is strong-armed into helping gorgeous newcomer, Scott, learn the ropes, she’s forced to make the most of a bad situation.

As Bea and Scott reluctantly spend more time together, an unexpected connection begins to form. But just as Bea starts to wonder if love after divorce is possible, a family crisis brings chaos to her once-peaceful sanctuary. With her sister’s family, and even her ex suddenly under her roof, Beas new life is turned upside down.

Will Scott prove to be the plot twist Bea needs to heal her heart and write her own happily ever after? Or will Beas second chance at love be lost among the shelves of her charming bookshop?

Life begins outside your comfort zone…

Book-keeper Megan has always lived life by a set of very rigid rules, but with impending divorce papers on the horizon, she throws herself into a new challenge.

She finds solace and purpose in her volunteer work at a dogs' home but with finances tight, and soon-to-be ex-husband Lyle controlling her purse strings, she might have to trade the work for something more permanent.

But spending her time in the fresh countryside air, Megan discovers a glimmer of hope for a new beginning, finding strength, love, and the promise of a brighter tomorrow – and maybe, even possibly, a new romance.
