Story
Regan is holding a winning lottery ticket. Good-bye to the boyfriend who never had her back, and so long to the job she can’t stand! Except it’s all a bit too good to be true. When Regan gets pranked, she finds herself jobless, homeless and boyfriend-less in one fell swoop. Luckily her friendly seaside community provides a beacon of hope, proving to Regan that sometimes you really can rely on the kindness of others - and one local in particular, a handsome Fireman called Charlie, helps Regan realise that this could be her chance for a fresh start.

Joy has been to some of the most beautiful places in the world - but none of them have ever felt like home. So moving into a tiny cottage in the idyllic village of Bramble Hill seems like the perfect plan. That is, until she gets there.

But when the village animosity steps up a gear, it is the infuriatingly brooding Finn who keeps coming to her rescue.

Summary
A Walk in Wildflower Park was originally published as a four-part serial. This is the complete story in one package.
Life’s not always a walk in the park....
Anna thought she’d found the One – until he broke off their engagement exactly a year before their wedding day. Hoping new surroundings will do her the world of good, she moves in to a place of her own on the edge of gorgeous Wildflower Park. With the help and friendship of her neighbour Sophie, Anna quickly settles in and pledges to focus on her career, but a handsome new colleague seems determined to thwart her attempts at every turn. And when she receives a text from a mystery man, it looks as though an unlikely romance is on the horizon....
Is Anna about to be swept off her feet by someone she really shouldn’t be falling for? Or could this be the new start she needs and deserves?
Full of warmth and humour, this charming novel will delight fans of Debbie Johnson, Cathy Bramley and Jill Mansell.
