The Village Shop for Lonely Hearts - The Riverside Lane Series, Book 1 (Unabridged)

A feel-good story of new beginnings set in a gorgeous country village.

'Glorious escapism. Uplifting, heartwarming and joyful, Alison Sherlock writes with a warmth and lightness of touch' - Bestselling author, Kerry Fisher

'A lovely story of finding yourself and discovering what home means. I couldn’t stop turning the pages. Loved it.' - Bestselling author, Jessica Redland

After losing her job in New York, Amber Green isn’t looking forward to visiting her godmother in the sleepy village of Cranbridge. With its empty lanes and rundown shops, it’s hardly a place to mend her lonely heart.

But when Amber discovers that Cranbridge Stores, owned by her godmother Cathy and son Josh, is under threat of financial ruin, she realises that her skills as a window dresser might just be able to help save the struggling shop.

When disaster strikes, Amber and Josh must unite to save both the shop and the village from flooding.

Can Cranbridge Stores become the heart of the village once more?

And as the village begins to come back to life, perhaps Amber will discover a reason to stay…

Perfect for fans of Katie Fforde and Milly Johnson What readers are saying about The Village Shop for Lonely Hearts:’The story is lovely. All characters were facing challenges and trying to cope with change. They were good, honorable, relatable, and I was immediately invested in their happiness.'
