She thought for a moment, before shaking her head and pulling him close.
‘Yes, but the job has its perks too.’ She gave him one last lingering kiss, before walking away, teasing him with the curves he loved. She’d come to love them too. She was happy with who she was now, and she would never make herself small again. Here, at Lizard Point, she’d found the room to breathe, to heal, to grow. She’d found her happy place, and she would never hide again.
Swept away by April’s story and the residents at Shady Pines? Don’t miss The Flower Shop on Foxley Street, another uplifting romance from Rachel Dove. Available now!

Acknowledgements
As ever, a book is more than one person eating snacks and looking up Gerard Butler on the internet. Huge thanks to Belinda Toor, Abi and the team at HQ – this cover is my best yet. Can’t wait to see what the next one will be like!
To the team at The Kate Nash Literacy Agency, and my agent Lina Langlee – thanks for the support, the brainstorming, all your hard work behind the scenes and the gentle nudging to stop googling Gerard and actually get some work done.
To all my writer buddies, especially my Yorkshire writers. I can’t wait till we can meet at Pret again and work together. We didn’t make the Ivy, but we will one day soon to celebrate.
Love to you all, and everyone at the Romantic Novelists’ Association. Proud to be a part of your organisation.
At the biggest thanks go to my readers, who keep buying my books and fall in love with the characters. All this is because of you, so thank you.
And to my family and friends, thanks for being there. I love you all, even more than toilet roll.
Rachel

Dear Reader,
Thank you for taking the time to read my book. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed writing it and, like me, fell in love just a little bit. I love to engage with readers, so feel free to contact me on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook and let me know what you think, and to find out what else I might have written that tickles your fancy. I am already hard at work on the next book, so look out for the next book release very soon.
If you do get a moment, popping a review onto Amazon/iBooks/Kobo would be much appreciated. It not only brightens my day, but also helps other readers who might enjoy my stories to find me and take a chance on my books, and that’s just brilliant all round!
