The Holiday Cottage

Imogen Thorne is good at her job doing marketing and coordinating events. She’s not so good at having a personal life. Because of a chaotic and cold childhood with an emotionally abusive mother, Imogen doesn’t let emotion or people into her life. She’s friendly with her coworkers; she’s even invented a family life and a pet dog so she can connect with them without really committing to anything. But all that work has a price, and after an event goes disastrously wrong, her boss, concerned about her burning out, forces her to take the month of December off to enjoy time with the family that doesn’t exist. Imogen is at a loss until one of her clients, Dorothy Rutherford, offers her the use of a cottage on her property in the Cotswolds. Dorothy is more than just a client. She has a connection to Imogen’s past, and when the secrets come out, Imogen will find that there’s much more to life than work and that perhaps she’s able to have love and family after all.
