Publisher's summary

'Beautifully written and both heartbreaking and heartwarming' Jessica Redland

When Seren’s brother Andrew signs her up to Yorkshire Dating, only for them to recommend that she ‘gets a life’ before they find her a match, Seren has to admit that they may have a point.

She loves her job cooking at an elder day centre and her little flat, but it’s fair to say her life is a little short of hobbies and friends. Since she was young Seren has felt safer close to home, but now she’s a thirty-something divorcee, it’s time for a change.

Change arrives in the shape of alarmingly clever collie Kez, who Seren offers to take in ‘temporarily’, and kind but mysterious new colleague Ned. But as Ned and Kez tempt Seren out of her shell, it means facing her fears. And when Andrew finally reveals the secrets of their childhood, Seren’s need for safety suddenly makes sense.

A problem shared is a problem halved, and with friends by her side, Seren might be able to get a life that she loves at last.

A charming read from bestselling author Jane Lovering, perfect for fans of Jessica Redland, Beth Moran and Jo Barlett.

'A funny, warm-hearted read, filled with characters you'll love' Matt Dunn

Enjoyable escape and slightly tart

Jane Lovering always provides an alternative to the darker books in my library. I appreciate the modernity of her characters with all the stresses of contemporary life. At the same time, I can read calmly knowing things will work out at the end. The secondary characters add humor and liveliness to the main story.
