The Cosy Croissant Café

‘Sparkling, laugh-out-loud, romantic' Phillipa Ashley

Don't you just hate it when unpleasant guys strip off and they're disgustingly tanned, toned and attractive under their clothes?Facing down a shirtless Miles Appleton - best friend to her brother-in-law - Betty is reminded both of everything she dislikes about the talented pastry chef, and how annoyingly gorgeous he is. Boathouse Cottage was meant to be a sanctuary for Betty and her beloved rescue Shetland Pony, Pumpkin, but it seems Fate isn't done messing with her just yet…Now, as her sister's marriage implodes and the family cottage in St Aiden becomes a bargaining chip that needs to be protected, Betty and Miles go head to head. Miles's baking experiments may have produced the best thing Betty's ever tasted - but she can't afford to be swayed by his delicious croissant campaign.Or can she? Because as Betty soon realises, there might be more to gain from aligning with the talented baker than fighting against the temptation he and his pastries pose…

About the author

I write fun, flirty fiction, with feisty heroines and a bit of an edge. Writing romance is cool, because I get to wear pretty shoes instead of wellies. I live in a mountain kingdom in Derbyshire, where my family and pets are kind enough to ignore the domestic chaos. Happily, we’re in walking distance of a supermarket. I love hearts, flowers, happy endings, all things vintage, most things French. When I’m not on Facebook, and can’t find an excuse for shopping, I’ll be walking, or gardening. On days when I want to be really scared, I ride a tandem.
