Sheβs found her dream home but can she make her dreams a reality?
Hattie finds other people their dream homes for a living.
Surely she, of all people, has the connections and the knowledge to find her own forever home? Instead, she baffles those closest to her by choosing to pack up and move every few months from one housesitting job to the next.
Of course, thatβs because she knows where she wants to live. Itβs a beautiful house owned by a lovely old woman whoβd simply love for Hattie to have it.
But nothing is ever that simple.
Thereβs Clive who refuses to listen to his great-auntβs wishes about her house. Thereβs Luke, Hattieβs oldest friend, who just wants to see her happy. And thereβs Hattie herself. It might take a difficult client, an awkward teenager and a couple of dogs to help her see what really makes a house a home.

About the Author
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.
