Part of Series

**PART ONE in the brand new series from Holly Hepburn, perfect for fans of Cathy Bramley and Katie Fforde** Maura has everything she ever wanted from life – a quirky cottage in Edinburgh’s picturesque Dean Village, a thriving career as a potter, and a contented relationship with her childhood sweetheart, Jamie. Never mind that the cottage is damp, her pots aren’t selling and Jamie prefers a night down the pub with his rugby mates to an evening in with her. But everyone wishes things were just a tiny bit better, right? When Maura reunites with Fraser Bell at a Hogmanay party, she’s instantly transported back to her school days. And when he suggests she makes some ceramic ghosts to go with his city ghost tour business, she’s tempted. At first, everything goes smoothly but it’s not long before their new partnership causes problems that ripple through every aspect of Maura’s life. The ghosts go viral, meaning she has more orders than she can fulfil, and Jamie is less than thrilled that she’s spending all her time in her studio. But it’s not until Edinburgh Castle shows an interest in Maura’s work that things begin to spiral out of control. Can Maura really have it all or will she regret wishing for more?

I’ve wanted to write books for adults for as long as I can remember but I was too scared to try. One day I decided to be brave and dipped a toe into the bubble bath of romantic comedy with my first novella, Cupidity, and I’ve never looked back. I often try to be funny to be funny, except for when faced with traffic wardens and border control staff. My favourite thing is making people smile. I’ve tried many jobs over the years, from barmaid to market researcher and I even had a brief flirtation with modelling. These days I am mostly found writing. I live near London with my grey tabby cat, Portia. We both have an unhealthy obsession with Marmite.
