When the curtains close, a new beginning waits in the wingsAfter losing her voice before the audition of a lifetime, West End hopeful Lily Baxter flees to the one place that’s al ways felt like home: her grandmother Violet’s cosy cottage in the heart of Appleton Green. Violet is overjoyed to have Lily back under her roof, even if it’s not under the happiest of circumstances. As Lily muddles through lost dreams and what-ifs, Violet is quietly nursing her own worries—and hoping this unexpected visit might help them both them heal. When charming local nurse Nick encourages Lily to join the village’s amateur dramatics group, she reluctantly agrees — and soon finds herself swept up in script readings, prop-painting parties, and something that feels a lot like falling in love. As opening night draws near, Lily must decide where her heart truly lies: back in the bright lights of London, or centre stage in Appleton Green. ***Perfect for fans of:Cosy romanceSmall-town settingsStories about starting overFamily love***Readers LOVE Second Act at Appleton Green:'This is a proper cute read that is perfect for reading curled up on the sofa with a cup of tea.' - NetGalley reviewer, 5*'A delightful read.'
