It's autumn at the Comfort Food Cafe and the leaves are golden, the lattes are spiced and love might just be brewing for one new resident...
Reclusive author Sarah is seeking refuge in the quiet village of Budbury, and the last thing she needs is a fake boyfriend. Except that's exactly what she gets - and the fake boyfriend just happens to be gorgeous, rugged Aidan, complete with an easy charm and an old soul that makes him seem like he's just stepped straight out of the pages of a novel. Using him to keep her nosy family at bay, he's happy to do her a favour in return for help with his rather unusual dog-sitting predicament.
But nothing in Budbury stays pretend for long. Especially not when there's a hint of autumn magic in the air, with a sprinkle of Halloween mischief.
Full of heart, humour and a touch of spooky charm, this is the perfect cosy read for autumn nights.
