    "description": "Sun, croissants and fine wine. Nothing can spoil the perfect holiday. Or can it?\n\nWhen Emmy Jamieson arrives at La Cour des Roses, a beautiful guesthouse in the French countryside, she can\u2019t wait to spend two weeks relaxing with boyfriend Nathan. Their relationship needs a little TLC and Emmy is certain this holiday will do the trick. But they\u2019ve barely unpacked before he scarpers with Gloria, the guesthouse owner\u2019s cougar wife.\n\nRupert, the ailing guesthouse owner, is shell-shocked. Feeling somewhat responsible, and rather generous after a bottle (or so) of wine, heartbroken Emmy offers to help. Changing sheets in the g\u00eetes will help keep her mind off her misery.\n\nThrust into the heart of the local community, Emmy suddenly finds herself surrounded by new friends. And with sizzling hot gardener Ryan and the infuriating (if gorgeous) accountant Alain providing welcome distractions, Nathan is fast becoming a distant memory.\n\nFresh coffee and croissants for breakfast, feeding the hens in the warm evening light; Emmy starts to feel quite at home. But it would be madness to walk away from her friends, family, and everything she\u2019s ever worked for, to take a chance on a place she fell for on holiday \u2013 wouldn\u2019t it?\n",
