Flora's lot - Katie Fforde

Flora Stanza has sub-let her London life in a bid to join the family antiques business. Her knowledge of antiques extends only to the relics of information she has crammed from daytime TV, but what she lacks in experience she makes up for in blind enthusiasm. So she is more than a little put off when she doesn't receive the warm country welcome she expected. Her curt, conservative cousin Charles and his fiancée Annabelle are determined to send Flora packing, and their offer to buy her out is tempting ... until a strange warning makes her think twice.

Stuck with a cat about to burst with kittens, Flora has little choice but to accept the offer to stay in an abandoned holiday cottage miles from any neighbour, let alone a trendy wine bar. And between fighting off dinner invitations from the devastatingly handsome Henry, and hiding her eco-friendly lodger, William, Flora soon discovers that country life is far from dull as she sets about rebuilding the crumbling business...
