¿¿¿¿¿'Witty, wise and romantic. Escapist fiction at its absolute best' KATIE FFORDE

A house she didn't ask for. A man she didn't expect.

At forty-three, Meg isn't where she thought she'd be. With a home she doesn't love, a career she never quite found, and a roster of other people's dogs to walk, her days are quiet, simple - and slowly running out of meaning.

But everything changes when a reclusive client passes away and inexplicably leaves Meg her sprawling house in the Cotswolds... along with three enormous dogs and one scribbled note bearing a local vet's number: Dan.

Dan is warm, intuitive, and frustratingly off-limits. But as Meg steps into a life she never asked for - surrounded by wellington boots, Barbour coats, and the weight of someone else's legacy - she begins to realise this unexpected inheritance might just be the greatest gift of all.

A heartwarming and hilarious story about reinvention, friendship, and discovering that the best chapters can begin in your forties.
