Description
'I loved it' Jill Mansell
'Absolutely charming' Milly Johnson
Hattie's job is to find people their dream homes. But she doesn't have one of her own.
Instead, she moves from house to house and never settles. That's because she has her heart set on a beautiful cottage owned by a wonderful elderly woman, Mary, who'd simply love for Hattie to have it.
But nothing is ever that simple. Especially when Mary's family get in the way.
Suddenly put in charge of her teenage nephew and juggling her clients' many dramas, the one person Hattie can rely on is Luke, her best friend. And when Hattie needs a place to stay, of course Luke offers his own. As she and Luke grow closer and unexpected sparks fly, will Hattie find out what truly makes a house a home?

Person
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.
