Samenvatting:

Curl up with this deliciously heart-warming and romantic story from the BESTSELLING author of A New Lease of Life Perfect for fans of Milly Johnson, Katie Fforde and Beth Moran.

Aspiring writer Mab has hit rock bottom. She’s stuck in a dead-end job, her landlord’s on the warpath and her love life is in tatters. But just as she makes a life-changing decision, fate chooses to deliver the man she’s been waiting for.

Leo has inherited a crumbling old shop in the heart of their sleepy market town and plans to turn it into a cosy haven of books and chocolate – and he wants Mab’s help.

Soon, Mab finds herself swept up by gorgeous Leo’s enthusiasm for the renovation, despite his disapproving, glamorous fiancée. But as the fizzing attraction between Mab and Leo deepens, how can she confess to the choice she made, and the secret she’s keeping?

With a future she never imagined taking shape around her, is Mab brave enough to rewrite her own story?

Every chocoholic will love this sweet and cosy romance!
