Romance

George can’t throw anything away. But he’s in danger of throwing away a chance at love.

George Nightingale is a hoarder with a house full of junk. For years he’s kept it a secret, rarely leaving his house and keeping social interactions to a minimum, but his carefully balanced system is now under threat...

Nessa Millbrook can’t wait to get settled into her new home in quaint, rural Applewell. Everyone in the village is so friendly – except her neighbour, George, who wants nothing to do with her. But Nessa isn’t one to back down from a challenge and she’s determined to win George over.

The years have taught George to shield his heart and trust no one. Yet Nessa keeps reaching out to him – does he have the courage to take a chance, and reach back?

A gorgeous romance with characters readers will fall in love with, perfect for fans of Holly Martin and Portia MacIntosh.

Welcome to Applewell, an English village where love blooms amid rolling hills and cosy cottages. Each book in this heartwarming series introduces you to unforgettable characters navigating life's ups and downs, all while finding love when they least expect it. From unexpected reunions to destined romances, Applewell is a place of second chances and new beginnings. Perfect for fans of uplifting, cosy contemporary romances, especially those who love Holly Martin and Portia MacIntosh.

Lilac Mills lives on a Welsh mountain with her very patient husband and incredibly sweet dog, where she grows veggies (if the slugs don't get them), bakes (badly) and loves making things out of glitter and glue (a mess, usually). She is the bestselling author romance series "Tanglewood Village" and "Applewell Village".
