Verity never thought she'd fall out of love with cooking...that is until her best friend passed away, taking their shared passion with her. And now it looks like Verity's career and love life might soon follow suit.
Desperate to escape her problems, Verity jumps at the chance to help out a friend and establish a cooking school in a new town. Her only demand: she doesn't have to do the cooking!
The new cookery school is the perfect place to hide until she's ready to put herself out there again...but starting a new business is far from easy, especially with new friendships and maybe even the chance of new romance. When tragedy strikes, Verity once again feels like she is losing everything.
Can Verity find the magic ingredient to save the cookery school and fall in love with life again?

Cathy Bramley is a British author of sixteen romance novels, and has sold almost two million copies worldwide. Her books have hit the UK best sellers' list and have been nominated for several awards including the British Book of the Year 2023. Cathy has been a lover of stories since she was a small child and used to beg her mother to take her to the library every week for new books. Many of her passions have come and gone over the years, but her love for story, drama and romance will last a lifetime. Cathy's favourite thing to do is to get comfy with a book in her lap, her dog, Pearl beside her and lose herself in a story. She loves the feel of a paperback, but is equally happy reading on a Kindle or iPad. She also listens to a lot of audiobooks, especially when driving. She reads a wide variety of novels, but there is a special place on her bookshelf for Marian Keyes, Maeve Binchy, Beth O'Leary and Emily Henry. Cathy didn't start writing until 2013, before that she ran a PR and Marketing agency for many years and loved hearing clients talk of how they started their businesses. Those stories must have stayed in her subconscious because she often writes about the sort of companies she used to work with. Her books are about people she would want to be friends with, characters her readers will cheer for. They are often about ordinary women doing extraordinary things. Cathy has two grown up daughters and lives in a small village in countryside in the middle of England. Her house overlooks fields of barley in one direction and horses in the other, and the garden is full of fruit trees: damson; plum; pear and of course, Bramley apples!
