Summer of Love

Katie Fforde

A gorgeously romantic summer read about fresh starts, friendships and falling deeply in love.


Sian Bishop has left the hustle and bustle of the city to throw herself into an idyllic new life in a charming countryside cottage.

With her young son, her picture-postcard garden and her furniture restoration business, she’s very happy and very busy. She is not – repeat not – looking for love.

But Sian’s good intentions are torpedoed one glorious summer’s evening with the arrival of Gus Berresford. One-time explorer and full-time heartbreaker, Gus is ridiculously exciting, wonderfully glamorous and a completely inappropriate love interest for a single mother.

But she and Gus have met before. And, despite Sian’s best intentions, it isn’t long before she’s falling for him all over again …

Feel the sun on your face and fall in love with this gloriously romantic tale from the No.1 bestselling Katie Fforde. Perfect for fans of Debbie Macomber and Susan Mallery.
