Description

Don't miss this hilarious rom-com from million copy bestseller Portia MacIntosh! Perfect for fans of Emily Henry and Christina Lauren.

'Another warm and witty read perfect to curl up on the sofa and immerse yourself in. I love the Macintosh style!' Reader review *

Lily Holmes is ready for a fresh start. And there’s no better place to begin again than the idyllic seaside town of Marram Bay.

All Lily wants to do is focus on making her new deli a success and ensuring her son’s happiness. Not the postcard creeping out of her handbag, and definitely not finding a new man in her life!

But this isn’t going to be as easy as she first thought. The town is in uproar about the city girl who’s dared to join them and she’s fighting a battle at every turn.

Perhaps with a little help from the gorgeous cider farmer next door, she may be able to win them over, but her past secrets threaten to ruin everything…

Praise for Portia MacIntosh:

'Smart, funny and always brilliantly entertaining, every book from Portia becomes my new favourite rom com.' Shari Low

'I laughed, I cried – I loved it.’ Holly Martin

'The queen of rom com!' Rebecca Raisin

‘This book made me laugh and kept me turning the pages.' Mandy Baggot

Readers LOVE Falling For You:

'I have enjoyed Portia Macintosh stories so much I've read 3 of her books in 1 week' *

'Absolutely loved this book! Characters I warmed to immediately' *

'As always a really funny read' *

Previously published as Summer Secrets at the Apple Blossom Deli.

About the Author

Portia MacIntosh has been 'making stuff up' for as long as she can remember - or so she says. Whether it was blaming her siblings for that broken vase when she was growing up, blagging her way backstage during her rock chick phase or, most recently, whatever justification she can fabricate to explain away those lunchtime cocktails, Portia just loves telling tales. After years working as a music journalist, Portia decided it was time to use her powers for good and started writing novels instead. Bestseller Portia writes hilarious romcoms, drawing on her real life experiences to show what it's really like being a woman today - especially one who doesn't quite have her life together yet.
