A certain smile

by Beth James

Freya has been made redundant and her high-flying boyfriend, Jay, is pressurising her to join him in London. But this would mean her leaving the place her heart lies - her home in the New Forest. And there are so many things to consider: her friends, her small cottage and her adorable little dog Henri ... and there's a certain dog walker with good legs and a friendly smile. Freya knows that she'd miss saying 'good morning' to him too.
