The Pennycress Inn

Laura wants to shake things up. She’s thirty-eight, and has been living in her parents’ house since her divorce last year. Her siblings seem to have got their lives together: successful careers, happy marriages, beautiful children. Laura’s determined to prove herself. And buying the beautiful Pennycress Inn in the idyllic Cotswolds village of Meadowfield could be just the way to do it. But getting the inn ready for its first guests proves easier said than done!

Nicola grew up at Pennycress Inn, in the beautiful Cotswold village of Meadowfield, and now she’s come full circle by landing a job there. After a difficult few months, she’s happy to be back in the place she loves and calls home. The whole village is looking forward to the annual summer carnival, and Nicola is charged with asking the local farmers to lend their tractors and trailers for the occasion. It’s an easy task—until she meets the new owner of Little Mead Farm, who stubbornly refuses to help.

After years of juggling teaching with volunteering, Polly is finally ready for a change. When she lands her dream job at Meadowfield Nature Reserve – with the promise of a promotion in three months’ time – she trades in the stress of the classroom for the beautiful autumn days of the Cotswolds countryside. Pennycress Inn is the perfect base for her fresh start: charming, cosy and filled with friendly faces. But everything changes when Zac, her attractive but infuriating ex-colleague, arrives.

Ellie thought she was starting over. After her long-term relationship collapses and her career implodes, she was braving a new chapter on her own, setting up a wedding planning business in her beautiful Cotswold village. But when her ex walks away with almost everything she owns, Ellie's carefully rebuilt world begins to crack. Just as she's clinging to her last lifeline, planning her first wedding at the idyllic Pennycross Inn, fate throws the biggest complication yet into her path. Murray. The man who broke her heart. The love she never truly let go.
