An escape to the country never looked so good…
Eliza Fox is down and out in London. 38-years-old with no savings, a boss with a diva complex, and a boyfriend who is shagging his secretary, it is definitely time to call a halt to city life.

So, Eliza straps her sequins and heels into her trusty yellow Citroen, and arrives windswept and exhausted into Farmington. Her to-do-list for her fabulous new life is simple: locate an acceptable flat white outside London, pay off her mounting debts, and absolutely do not fall for any devastatingly handsome farmers.

But when she spots local heartthrob Luke Stanley emerging shirtless from a lake, like some sort of rural Poseidon, Eliza wonders if she might just be in for the ride of her life…

Tabitha Webb was born in Ireland and grew up in Chicago, before being sent back to boarding school for her teenage years. She survived one term at university before packing her bags and chasing a hot surfer to America. During this period she was a rollerblading extra in the Robin Williams film The Birdcage, a dancer in a German pop video, and got held up at gunpoint.

After careers in TV and advertising, she made her first foray into fashion and now runs her eponymous fashion label, is happily married to a patient South African man and has two daughters.

Tabitha is loyal, outspoken, and completely fascinated by other people’s lives. Her debut novel No Regrets was inspired by the love lives of women around the globe, coupled with a vivid imagination, and she can’t wait to shock and delight readers everywhere.

'This book is the perfect escape read. It has all the comforting components one needs to royally reset the busy brain and be thoroughly entertained at the same time. A relatable and glorious rise-again story with something for all. I escaped with Eliza and enjoyed every minute! Funny, full of spark – this book was a joy to devour…' Donna Ashworth
