Aspiring writer Mab has hit rock bottom. Sheās stuck in a dead-end job, her landlordās on the warpath and her love life is in tatters. But just as she makes a life-changing decision, fate chooses to deliver the man sheās been waiting for.
Leo has inherited a crumbling old shop in the heart of their sleepy market town and plans to turn it into a cosy haven of books and chocolate ā and he wants Mabās help.
Soon, Mab finds herself swept up by gorgeous Leoās enthusiasm for the renovation, despite his disapproving, glamorous fiancĆ©e. But as the fizzing attraction between Mab and Leo deepens, how can she confess to the choice she made, and the secret sheās keeping?
With a future she never imagined taking shape around her, is Mab brave enough to rewrite her own story?
