Publisher Description
'Bursting with humour, brimming with intrigue and full of characters you'll adore' Heat
A delightful and heart-warming novel about a man, a baby and a lot of surprises from the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Wedding of the Year and Promise Me.
Dexter Yates loves his fun, carefree London life. But everything changes in a heartbeat when his sister dies. Suddenly Dexter is in charge of Delphi, her eight-month-old daughter. Desperate to become the kind of father Delphi deserves, Dexter moves to a beautiful Cotswolds village.
Artist Molly Hayes is on red alert when she meets her new neighbour. Molly has a history of choosing the wrong men. And Dexter is exactly the kind of man she's determined to stay away from. There's something irresistible about his efforts to be a good dad, but he still has a look that signals trouble ahead.
As Dexter works on his parenting skills, he can't ignore his growing connection with Molly. But he has a lot to learn about relationships, about other people's secrets . . . and about himself.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A little bundle of joy changes everything in this quirky chick-lit tale of baby love and grown-up commitment from prolific British author Mansell (Thinking of You). After Dexter Yates's sister Laura, a single mom, suddenly dies, he decides to adopt his infant niece, Delphi. "Laura chose me to be Delphi's guardian," he says. "If I don't do it, I'll be letting her down." The decision is an uncharacteristically responsible one by the London playboy's standards, but Dex will ultimately chuck his sleek bachelor pad, busy sex life, and canary yellow Porsche to settle in quaint Briarwood with Delphi. He's encouraged to work on his previously nonexistent daddy skills by his neighbor Molly Hayes, a gifted cartoonist with a messy romantic past. A shared love of Delphi provides the first connection for Dex and Molly, but trust will be far harder for the pair. This theme of broken and mended love plays out among the village's other residents, including retired actress Hope, who reconnects with her true love, and barmaid Lois, who stumbles into bed with a dreamy-looking bore. While it's no surprise when this mixed-up bunch finds the courage to trust their hearts, their meandering course to happiness is charmingly well charted.
