Julia's learning some lessons in love. A wonderfully romantic novel from the No. 1 Sunday Times bestselling author of Recipe for Love, A French Affair and The Perfect Match. Sometimes you can't escape the past... When Julia realises she holds more affection for a Labrador than she does for her actual fiancee, Oscar, Julia decides to change her life. She quits her job, dumps Oscar, and starts a new career as a cook on a couple of narrowboats. Finally feeling like she's keeping her head above water, Julia is appalled when her past comes back to haunt her. Oscar is persistent, her mother is a matchmaking nightmare and to top it all off her childhood enemy, the enigmatic, Fergus Grindley, arrives on the scene.
