She came to England to finish her novel and forget about love. She didn't expect the one who got away to be living next door with a fiancée waiting back in London.

If there’s one thing romance writer Ivy Hart knows, it’s how to write a love story. Narrating her own, though, is another story entirely. 

When Ivy flies to London to surprise her boyfriend on a work trip and catches him with another woman, she does what any sensible writer would do: she flees to the English countryside to finish her overdue manuscript. What she doesn’t expect is her ex-boyfriend Ben Mercer to be renting the cottage next door. 

Ben offers to help with her manuscript, and suddenly Ivy is spending her summer with the one person she never quite managed to get over. Which would be complicated enough without the small matter of his engagement.

As the days stretch into weeks, Ivy starts to wonder if she’s been writing the wrong love story all along. And if she has the courage to rewrite her own.
