Book description
With the bookshop where she works about to close, hopeless romantic
Laura Horsley, in a moment of uncharacteristic recklessness, finds
herself agreeing to help organise a literary festival deep in the
heart of the English countryside. But her initial excitement is
rapidly followed by a mounting sense of panic when reality sinks in
and she realises just how much work is involved - especially when an
innocent mistake leads the festival committee to mistakenly believe
that Laura is a personal friend of the author at the top of their
wish-list. Laura might have been secretly infatuated with the infamous
Dermot Flynn ever since she studied him at university, but travelling
to Ireland to persuade the notorious recluse to come out of hiding is
another matter.
Determined to rise to the challenge she sets off to meet her
literary hero. But all too soon she's confronted with more than she
bargained for - Dermot the man is maddening, temperamental and up to
his ears in a nasty case of writer's block. But he's also
infuriatingly attractive - and, apparently, out to add Laura to his
list of conquests ...
Katie Fforde lives in Gloucestershire with her husband and some of
her three children. Recently her old hobbies of ironing and housework
have given way to singing, Flamenco dancing and husky racing. She claims
this keeps her fit.
