Derbyshire Dreaming

A fresh start. A tiny cottage in the Peaks. A village full of secrets, warmth... and unexpected connections.

When Chloe arrives in Derbyshire with nothing but a packed car, a restless heart, and a determination to rebuild her life, the last thing she expects is to fall in love with the quiet magic of a small village. The cottage is crooked but charming, the hills wide and welcoming - and her new neighbours are a delightful mix of quirky, nosy, and strangely comforting.

But starting over isn't simple.

There are new friendships to navigate, a less-than-welcoming manager, and an unexpected connection waiting across a crowded pub.

As she settles into village rhythms - pub nights, unexpected kindnesses - she begins to rediscover pieces of herself she thought she'd lost. Yet the past has a way of tugging at her sleeve, and Derbyshire isn't quite finished testing her heart.

Warm, funny, heartfelt and deeply relatable, Derbyshire Dreaming is a cosy, feel-good debut about finding yourself, finding community, and finding love where you least expect it - right on your doorstep. Perfect for fans of cosy countryside fiction, uplifting women's fiction, and second-chance beginnings.
