‘Sparkling, laugh-out-loud, romantic’ Sunday Times bestseller Phillipa Ashley

The Cosy Croissant Café is a delectable mix of laugh-out-loud moments, slow-burn attraction, and the kind of small-town charm that feels like a warm hug.’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

‘This was such a gorgeous and cosy read about self-discovery and coming out of your comfort zone.’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

‘The Cosy Croissant Café is such a heartwarming story about love, friendship, and enjoying life's simple pleasures. If you are looking to escape to a charming seaside village, then this book is for you!’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Boathouse cottage was meant to be a sanctuary for Betty and her beloved rescue Shetland pony, Pumpkin…

But now, as her sister’s marriage implodes and the family cottage in St Aidan becomes a bargaining chip that needs to be protected, Betty finds herself facing off against her unwanted flatmate – her brother-in-law's best friend, Miles. Miles may be gorgeous and a talented pastry chef too, but she can't afford to be swayed by either his charm or his delicious croissant campaign.

Or can she? Because as Betty soon realises, there might be more to gain from aligning with the talented baker than fighting against the temptation he and his pastries pose…

About the Author

I write fun, flirty fiction, with feisty heroines and a bit of an edge. Writing romance is cool, because I get to wear pretty shoes instead of wellies. I live in a mountain kingdom in Derbyshire, where my family and pets are kind enough to ignore the domestic chaos. Happily, we’re in walking distance of a supermarket. I love hearts, flowers, happy endings, all things vintage, most things French. When I’m not on Facebook, and can’t find an excuse for shopping, I’ll be walking, or gardening. On days when I want to be really scared, I ride a tandem.
