How many is too many? Dive into the hilarious, heartwarming bestseller from the author of A Cornish Summer
There isn't room in a marriage for three . . .
Painter Imogen is happily married to Alex, and together they have a son. But when their finances hit rock bottom, they're forced to accept Eleanor Latimer's offer of a rent-free cottage on her large country estate. If it was anyone else, Imogen would be beaming gratitude. Unfortunately, Eleanor just happens to be Alex's beautiful, rich and flirtatious ex.
And from the moment she steps inside Shepherd's Cottage, Imogen's life is in chaos. In between coping with rude locals, murderous chickens, a maddening (if handsome) headmaster, mountains of manure, and visits from the infuriating vet, she has to face Eleanor, now a fixture at Alex's side.
Is Imogen losing Alex?
Will her precious family be torn apart?
And whose fault is it really - Eleanor's, Alex's or Imogen's?
