Description

Your dream holiday is just a page away…

You are invited to a summer of sparkling champagne, warm buttery croissants, and a little bit of je ne sais quoi.

With a broken heart and a broken spirit, Hattie is in need of a summer escape. So, when an opportunity arises to work at a beautiful, stately chateau in the Champagne region of France, she books her flights quicker than the pop of a cork.

Romance is the last thing Hattie is looking for, but she wasn’t expecting the gorgeous Luc to stroll into her life. With picnics in the warm French sun and delicious foodie trips to the local market, Hattie starts to wonder if a holiday fling—or maybe even something more—might be just what she needs.

About the Author

Julie Caplin is addicted to travel and good food. She’s on a constant hunt for the perfect gin and is obsessively picky about glasses, tonic and garnishes. Between regular gin tastings, she’s been writing her debut novel which is set in just one of the many cities she’s explored over the years. Formerly a PR director, for many years she swanned around Europe taking top food and drink writers on press trips (junkets) sampling the gastronomic delights of various cities in Italy, France, Belgium, Spain, Copenhagen and Switzerland. It was a tough job but someone had to do it. These trips have provided the inspiration and settings for the trilogy, The Little Cafe in Copenhagen, The Little Brooklyn Bakery and the The Little Paris Patisserie.
