A Cottage in the Country

'I loved it' Jill Mansell
'Absolutely charming' Milly Johnson

Hattie's job is to find people their dream homes. But she doesn't have one of her own.

Instead, she moves from house to house and never settles. That's because she has her heart set on a beautiful cottage owned by a wonderful elderly woman, Mary, who'd simply love for Hattie to have it.

But nothing is ever that simple. Especially when Mary's family get in the way.

Suddenly put in charge of her teenage nephew and juggling her clients' many dramas, the one person Hattie can rely on is Luke, her best friend. And when Hattie needs a place to stay, of course Luke offers his own. As she and Luke grow closer and unexpected sparks fly, will Hattie find out what truly makes a house a home?

Dear readers, thank you for visiting my Amazon Page.

I live in the beautiful Cotswold countryside with my family, and I’m a country girl at heart.

I first started writing when my mother gave me a writing kit for Christmas, and once I started I just couldn’t stop. Living Dangerously was my first novel and since then, I haven’t looked back.

Ideas for books are everywhere, and I’m constantly inspired by the people and places around me. From watching TV (yes, it is research) to overhearing conversations, I love how my writing gives me the chance to taste other people’s lives and try all the jobs I’ve never had.

Each of my books explores a different profession or background and my research has helped me bring these to life. I’ve been a porter in an auction house, tried my hand at pottery, refurbished furniture, delved behind the scenes of a dating website, and I’ve even been on a Ray Mears survival course.

I love being a writer; to me there isn’t a more satisfying and pleasing thing to do. I particularly enjoy writing love stories. I believe falling in love is the best thing in the world, and I want all my characters to experience it, and my readers to share their stories.

I love hearing from all my readers on Twitter @KatieFforde or on Facebook at facebook.com/KatieFforde
