Hannah Lynn

Starting over never tasted so good
Holly Berry has it all: a good career, a steady boyfriend, and enough savings that the two of them will soon be able to buy a nice little house. But when she finds out her boyfriend has been cheating on her, she decides to retreat to the Cotswolds and a place full of far sweeter memories.

Quite literally.

However, Holly discovers the quaint village sweet shop she worked in as a teenager is starting to crumble. Putting all her chocolate eggs in one basket, she says goodbye to the city, and sets her sights on a new project.

After all, how hard can running a sweet shop be?

Full of laughter, sweet romance and cosy village life, The Sweet Shop of Second Chances will make you believe that the best things in life really are worth fighting for.

"A delightful, well written tale, full of wonderful characters in a charming setting. I loved it!” Katie Fforde
