Escape to Pumpkin Cottage by Anna Burns and Jacqui Burns takes you to Riverdean, nestled in the picturesque Wye Valley. Pippa Mason has big plans to renovate the run-down Pumpkin Cottage into the bed and breakfast business of her dreams.

Pippa is settling in and even starting to fall for the handsome local, Jake, when problems begin to come thick and fast. Meanwhile, Jenny Foster has enough on her plate running Riverside Lodge and does not need another B&B on her doorstep.

When a spat between Pippa and Jenny escalates, they must confront whether Riverdean is big enough for the both of them.
