Can they fall in love, sixty minutes at a time?

'Cressida's characters are wonderful' Sarah Morgan

'Bursting with warmth' Kirsty Greenwood

'We couldn't put this down!' BELLA

'You'll devour this' Woman's Weekly

The deliciously captivating new standalone novel from the bestselling author of The Staycation and The Cornish Cream Tea series.

Jess is happy working in Greenwich market selling trinkets to well-heeled locals and excitable tourists.

Then one Sunday, Jess is thrown together with handsome, funny Ash, as they chase a pickpocket through the market, and before long they are making a habit of running into each other at the same time each week.

Jess starts to realize that their hour together is the brightest part of her life. But Ash isn’t telling her everything – can she discover the truth before it’s too late?
