Where Happy Begins (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781837511570)

Read Yourself Happy with the BRAND NEW warm, uplifting and joyful story from Maxine Morrey. Perfect for fans of Milly Johnson, Cathy Bramley and Jill Mansell.

When Emmeline Beaumont grows weary of her city career, she decides to make a huge change by taking a job as a gardener at the gorgeous stately home, Ashington House. Sure, she may have told a little white lie about having a horticultural degree, but this is her summer to embrace happiness.

Welcomed with open arms by the lady of the house, Emmy is looking forward to a season of flowers and sunshine. So she is flabbergasted when Lady Penelope, desperate to save face with a nightmare neighbour, announces that her son, Edward, the Lord of the Manor no less, and Emmeline are engaged.

Desperate to keep her job, Emmy agrees to keep up the pretence, but as the summer days draw longer and she spends more time with Edward, she realises she may have made a big mistake. Because under the veneer of a slightly awkward country gent is hidden a devastatingly handsome and heart-achingly kind man. How is Emmy meant to walk away when the summer draws to an end...

A hug of a book - guaranteed to fill you with sunshine. Perfect for all fans of Milly Johnson, Cathy Bramley and Jill Mansell.
