Sowing Secrets (33 page)

Also available from Avon in paperback and ebook

Tansy Poole dreams of weddings, shoes... and chocolate

And when she inherits a run-down shoe shop tucked away in the village of Sticklepond, Cinderella’s Slippers is born – providing footwear gorgeous enough to make any fairytale wedding come true. She’ll even sell shoe-shaped chocolates as wedding favours!

But soon Tansy feels like she’s starring in her very own Cinderella tale, with two awful stepsisters causing no end of trouble, a long list of chores, and the tall, dark and handsome actor Ivo Hawksley on her doorstep – though sadly he’s more of a Prince Brooding than a Prince Charming. Ivo has come to the village to nurse a broken heart, but could a happy every after be closer than he thinks?

A heart-warming novel for fans of Katie Fforde and Jill Mansell, and anyone who dreams of Jimmy Choos!

This novel is entirely a work of fiction.

The names, characters and incidents portrayed in it are the work of the author’s imagination. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, events or localities is entirely coincidental.
