Abby Field loves every inch of Meadowsweet Nature Reserve on the idyllic Suffolk coast where she lives and works. Especially Swallowtail House, the rambling but empty country house that seems to look out at her each time she passes its shut-up windows.
When a TV wildlife programme choses a rival location for their new series, Meadowsweet is under threat unless Abby can whip up a plan to keep the visitors flocking. But she finds herself distracted by the arrival of a brooding and annoyingly handsome new neighbour bad-boy novelist, Jack Westcoat.
With the pressure on, Abby and her cute rescue huskie, Raffle, must pull something special out of the bag. But with Jack in need of a good friend and Abby feeling the pull of attraction, she can sense her resolve fluttering away

Cressy was born in South East London surrounded by books and with a cat named after Lawrence of Arabia. She studied English at the University of East Anglia and now lives in Norwich with her husband David. Cressys favourite things include terrifying ghost stories, lava lamps and romantic heroes, though not necessarily at the same time. She doesnt (yet) have a dog of her own, but feeds her love vicariously through friends pets, and was once chased around a field by a soaking wet, very mischievous Border Collie called Wags. When she isnt writing, Cressy spends her spare time reading, returning to London or exploring the beautiful Norfolk coastline.
