French Escape

'She had me at Bonjour! Warm, funny, deliciously French...this lovely story filled my heart with sunshine' Jane Linfoot Sometimes you need to lose yourself to find your way home... With only her trusty dogs Peanut, Treacle and Pickwick by her side, Poppy Kirkbride could be forgiven for having doubts about her move to a quiet village in rural France. But as the sun shines down on her ramshackle new home, Poppy knows she's made the right decision. A lick of paint, and some TLC and her rustic farmhouse will be the perfect holiday retreat - Poppy's dream come true. Poppy is welcomed by her fellow villagers, except for brooding local vet Leo Dubois, who makes it clear Poppy isn't welcome in his village - or his life! Leo might be gorgeous, but Poppy won't be told what to do by an arrogant Frenchman - no matter how kind and gentle he is to her dogs! Determined to stay, Poppy tries to understand the enigmatic Frenchman better. But as the two get closer, Poppy sees another side to Leo - a man with heartbreak of his own. Falling in love with Leo is easy, but can he ever return Poppy's love? And what would this mean for her dream life and place in the sun?

Poppy is looking forward to spending her first Christmas in France at her boyfriend, Leo's, Château. And as the snow falls softly around the dramatic castle, Poppy can't think of anything more magical. There are new traditions to discover, a cozy Christmas market to explore and best of all, a promise of a secret treasure hunt from gorgeous Leo. The clues take Poppy on a magical tour of the chateau, each place holding special memories for her and Leo—their first date, their first kiss, the list goes on. And at the end, hidden beneath the mistletoe, is one last surprise for Poppy. A simple question that could change her life forever...
