A laugh-out-loud funny novel from one of women's fiction's royalty about what happens when the life you've dreamed of is almost within reach...

Molly is living the country dream in rural Herefordshire. Except it's not her dream—it’s her dead husband David's dream, and it's beginning to feel more like a nightmare. Between running a mail-order lingerie business and repackaging soaps from Newcastle as Savon de Provence, Molly is barely making ends meet.

When Molly unexpectedly inherits a beautiful house in London, it seems like all her problems are solved. With one catch—the house is already occupied.

Molly is determined to turf the tenant out—but she is immediately wrong-footed by Felix, his handsome son. Add in a face from her past and Molly's life suddenly becomes a whole lot messier...
