Single mum Rowena is always looking for ways for her and her four-year-old daughter, Nia, to live more sustainably. So, when she visits a zero-waste shop in Cardiff, she’s inspired to start one up in her own village, where local businesses and artisan shops are a core part of the community.
For Huw, it’s love at first sight when he bumps into Rowena, on the day he moves to Foxmore. But a series of misunderstandings keeps the two from getting closer, and now a conflict of interest over Rowena’s shop might put a stop to any fledgling romance…
When a figure from Rowena’s past makes a surprise appearance, both her shop and relationship with Huw are suddenly under threat. Can Rowena still realise her corner shop dreams and find love?

My Review
Rowena wanted to open a zero waste shop but she has been holding back because of her daughter Nia. She always put her daughter in priority and she love her wholeheartedly. Huw is a newcomer to the town and is instantly attracted to Rowena when he bumps into her at the shop. It is a love at first sight to him. Their communication did not start smoothly and this has prevented their friendships from getting closer. When their relationship started to improve, someone from Rowena’s past appear back in her life and this has threatened not only her relationship with Huw but also her shop.
This is a sweet and feel good story about a single mother who found 2nd chance in love but at the same time doubt her lucky star. There is great chemistry between Rowena and Huw and her daughter Nia is a charming character in the story. Overall, it is a charming read to me.
