A BRAND NEW feel-good instalment in Sarah Hope's BESTSELLING Pennycress Inn series. Dive into a cosy rivals-to-lovers romance filled with love, friendship and pumpkin-spiced dreams! Perfect for fans of Heidi Swain, Sarah Morgan and Laurie Gilmore.

Falling leaves, the scent of cinnamon and pumpkin spice - and sparks flying in more ways than one...

After years of juggling teaching with volunteering, Polly is finally ready for a change. When she lands her dream job at Meadowfield Nature Reserve – with the promise of a promotion in three months’ time – she trades in the stress of the classroom for the beautiful autumn days of the Cotswolds countryside.

Pennycress Inn is the perfect base for her fresh start: charming, cosy and filled with friendly faces. But everything changes when Zac, her attractive but infuriating ex-colleague, arrives. He’s here to take up a post at the reserve too – and is also staying at the inn! Worse still, the promotion Polly was counting on is suddenly up for grabs – and Zac’s her biggest rival.

With three months to prove herself, Polly must navigate village life, unexpected emotions and a career-defining challenge. As tension simmers, will Meadowfield become the place she truly finds where she belongs – or will she be forced to walk away from everything she’s dreamed of?
