Three perfect strangers who help each other to believe in love again

Holly's husband died, and she's lonely. She needs to do something to save herself, quickly. Next thing she knows she's interviewing for a voluntary cooking job, surprised to be ambushed by a scruffy man who looks like he has a past.

Angus has messed up. He's lost the respect of his family and has none for himself. If it weren't for his brother and friend who run the cafe, he'd be sleeping on the streets. Angus is about ready to give up - until he meets Holly, who sparks something in him.

Then Lauren arrives from the homeless shelter. She came to London with nothing but an old train ticket, a teddy bear, and the clothes on her back. With no family, no home, no friends, she doesn't know what love is. People scare her. She's terrified of Angus and Holly. At first.

Each of them finds themselves in the Saturday cafe at a time when they need something to grab hold of. It might have to be each other...

This was my first Alice Peterson book, I was instantly captured by the description and just as captured when I started reading it. Holly, grieving from the loss of her husband comes across a voluntary role at a community kitchen helping those in need. Here she meets Angus and Laurie who both have had struggles they are working through. Although a unlikely trio the story unfolds and it's heartwarming, alot of emotions and tears were shed! A beautiful story, really enjoyed this one Thanks to NetGalley for the download

About the author

Alice has published two non-fiction books, and ten novels, including the critically-acclaimed, A Song for Tomorrow, and the No. 1 kindle bestselling title, Monday to Friday Man. Her writing is funny, romantic, powerful and emotional. At the heart of each novel is a love story but Alice always includes hard-hitting and thought-provoking themes within her storylines, based on her own experience of a professional tennis career cut short at the age of 18 when diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis.

Alice is currently living in West London, and training to be a psychotherapist. Her favourite thing in the world is walking her beloved Lucas Terrier, Mr Darcy, in the park.
