    About this ebook

    Some things are just not suited to the countryside.  Take Jake Stanton, for example...

    Forced on a holiday for his health, Jake finds himself stuck in the middle of middle England.  Nature is all well and good as long as it's nowhere near him!  And if that's not punishment enough, there's always the seriously tempting and possibly slightly deranged Serenity Ryan.  Why is she camped out in his cottage?  What's with all the pumpkins?  And why does her crazy cat have it in for him?

    Swiftly concluding that small town life in a small town burgh is not something for him, citified Jake must fight his growing attraction to that country woman.  It hardly helps that he's killing time by pretending to be Serenity's lover; their mission to fool her scheming relatives and trick the gossiping village grapevine.

    Can Jake do all that, squeeze in a few rounds of golf and still manage to find his serenity?

      Jun 5, 2019

      The villagers of Yockenthwaite knew him as ‘Jack Dull’, ‘Jack Dolt,’ or sometimes just ‘The Dullard’. His real name was John Dullard, last in a long, illustrious line of Dullards, and a man – so they said – of quite miraculous stupidity. The kind of
