Katie Fforde lives in the beautiful Cotswold countryside with her family, and is a true country girl at heart. Each of her books explores a different profession or background and her research has helped her bring these to life. She's been a porter in an auction house, tried her hand at pottery, refurbished furniture, delved behind the scenes of a dating website, and she's even been on a Ray Mears survival course. She loves being a writer; to her there isn't a more satisfying and pleasing thing to do. She particularly enjoys writing love stories. She believes falling in love is the best thing in the world, and she wants all her characters to experience it, and her readers to share their stories.

Will opening the door lead to love and happy endings?

Lorna and her friend Philly work together in the grounds of a beautiful manor house in the Cotswolds.

But even though they are surrounded by family and friends, the door to true love remains resolutely closed - until the day they discover a beautiful secret garden deep in the manor's grounds.

Could this be the sign that their luck is about to change?
