'A lovely, touching, uplifting read with a very likeable heroine and a dishy vet - and delightful dogs' Phillipa AshleyWelcome to your new cottage in the country - complete with grumpy vet, village gossip and a very muddy dog . . .City girl Ella wants to take refuge in the country, lick her wounds and work out what she's going to do with the rest of her life.

Unfortunately, the inhabitants of Wilsgrave have other ideas.Settling in to her godmother's house for a few months of R&R, Ella finds herself the reluctant babysitter of a badly behaved Labrador - and her plans of staying mainly indoors scuppered. But as she's forced into wellies and into the village's way of doing things, Ella meets people who make her think again about what she really wants out of life and love, starting with her new furry best friend . . .A gorgeously romantic tale set in an idyllic countryside village, from the author of ebook bestseller Covent Garden in the Snow. Perfect for fans of Trisha Ashley and Katie Fforde.________________What everyone's saying about A Girl's Best Friend:'The perfect read to curl up with' Zara Stoneley'A heart-warming tale of falling in love with life again' Debbie Johnson'Packed full of lovely characters, wagging tails and self re-discovery' ***** Reader Review'Pure escapism' ***** Reader Review'The author made me laugh and cry . . .
