Back to the Drawing Board: A Branded Hearts Romance

Lauren Hughes likes routine. At 37, she’s had more than her fair share of ups and downs, but her consistent approach to life has been working for the last few years and she has no plans to change. As an award-winning architect, routine keeps her focused and able to manage the demands of the job. Part of what she loves so much about being a dog owner is the need for regularity. Even her social life is strictly timetabled, with every Sunday evening revolving around a call with her three best friends. So, when someone new turns up at her Friday night yoga class, Lauren’s carefully managed routine is thrown into chaos.

A move down to the north of England hadn’t featured in any of Tallie MacLeod’s life-plans, but that’s where she finds herself, with only her dog for company. An interior designer by trade, she snaps up the chance at a trial position with an architectural firm in a last-ditch attempt to get her life back on track after the latest disappointment. She's determined to make a go of it, even though she misses her family back in Scotland. After a day of lugging moving boxes, her aching body demands an hour of yoga, an hour which sets in motion far more than a series of vinyasas.

They say that even the best laid plans often go will Lauren and Tallie have to go back to the drawing board, or will they construct a solid foundation from which to build something truly life-changing?

This is Book Three of the Branded Hearts series, featuring cameo appearances from the stars of Not in the Script and Hot off the Press, along with some scene-stealing moments from pooches Mirren and Kell.
