Eliza lives in North Yorkshire with her family and has wanted to be a writer as far back as she can remember. She is inspired by her beautiful surroundings and loves to write heartwarming stories based on romance and friendship with a generous dollop of community spirit and a hint of humour. She's had fifteen novels published and has been an Amazon UK Kindle top ten bestseller.When she's not writing, Eliza can usually be found with her nose in a book or working in her garden doing a spot of plot wrangling (of the writing variety), and battling against the weeds. The weeds, unfortunately, are currently winning, but Eliza is undeterred. Roses are amongst her favourite flowers and she doesn't need much of an excuse to visit a plant centre, where a new rose always seems to mysteriously find its way onto her trolley, much to her husband's astonishment.Eliza also enjoys having a catch-up with friends over tea and cake, as well as bracing walks in the countryside, rounded off by a visit to a teashop - for yet more tea and cake!

When Livvie Weatherhill's relationship implodes just days before Christmas, she books herself the perfect little holiday cottage in the village of Lytell Stangdale. But a booking mix-up means she's sharing her dream hideaway with Zander, a doctor with striking blue eyes, and his adorable rescue Labrador Alf - who has an unfortunate habit of jumping into baths with unsuspecting guests.
