Up the Garden Path
By Maggie McIntyre
Two sizzling women collide in this age-gap romantic comedy
Cait Channing is a perfectionist, and she’s turned it into a career across three continents. Demanding as much of herself as of others, she knows what she wants and usually gets it. But something has changed, so Cait moves to the deepest, greenest, and most unfashionable corner of Gloucestershire. She wants to fall in love and find happiness, two things she’s never experienced.
Maisie Etherington is back in her hometown, fulfilling family duties she hadn’t counted on. Running her parents’ garden centre and trimming villagers’ hedges isn’t quite what she envisaged following her recent success at the Chelsea Flower Show. When she bumps into Mrs Path to Perfection Cait Channing, and Cait manages to insult everything about her, Maisie isn’t impressed… But she’s always loved a good challenge.
Cait’s unruly gardens bring them together but forced into such close proximity, will they keep their lives on track or will their undeniable connection lead them both up the garden path?
