Fred and Breakfast

'I absolutely loved this book!' Maxine Morrey

Daisy’s life is going nowhere, but that’s just how she likes it.

Unable to move on from the tragic accident that killed her parents ten years ago, she’s living each day as it comes. After all, what’s the point of plans and dreams if one random event can rip them all from you? She’s quite comfortable with her dead-end job and her lacklustre love life, thank you.

When she and her sister inherit a run-down café from a distant relative, her first instinct is to sell it. She doesn’t know anything about running a business, so the idea of taking it on and trying to turn it around is way too much of a risk. However, chef Matt has other ideas, and it’s not long before his infectious passion for the place starts to rub off on her.

Will she be able to save the café, or will the café end up saving her?

A feel-good romance perfect for fans of Catherine Walsh, Milly Johnson and Sophie Kinsella.
