Fiction

It started with 'happily ever after'... But just three years after Bella's fairy-tale wedding to fun-loving Charlie Wellbeloved, while her best friend, Maddy, is expecting a baby, her own weight gain is purely from comfort eating. Only her little Labrador Dolly can boost her spirits as she gloomily surveys her failing marriage and fledgling interior design business. Dovecot Farm is just a rainstorm away from ruin, but Charlie is hoping against hope his family vineyard will produce a vintage year, saving his business, his childhood home and - most of all - his marriage ... Then, handsome and glamorous Rufus appears in the tight-knit Havenbury community. He quickly charms Bella and makes himself indispensable to Charlie, but he is guarding a secret. What does he really want from them all? And is he friend or foe...
