Kate Fitzroy - Perfume Of Provence

A summer at the chateau

Leaving her cheating ex-boyfriend behind Rosie Fielding heads away from London to spend a blissful – and boy-free - summer basking in the Cote d’Azur sunshine. Surely the Mediterranean sea breeze will soften memories of the disastrous anniversary dinner-than-never-was?!

During a chance visit to a nearby perfumery Rosie meets the owner, Jean-Michel de Fleurenne, who’s distillery is in desperate need of her PR expertise. Everyone knows you should never mix business with pleasure…but in Provence the rules seem almost impossible to stick to…

Rosie has fallen instantly in love with the Provencąl landscape. The rich citrus aromas of the fruit trees, and scent of the wild lavender are blissfully intoxicating and have done wonders in banishing any and all memories of her ex and the tall, blonde Other Woman ! However, they say French is the language of love – and thoughts of a certain, impossibly handsome, French Perfumier are becoming harder and harder to ignore…

KATE FITZROY

has two lives. One in a flinty Victorian cottage in Newmarket, where she awakes early each morning to the clip clop of the strings of racehorses passing under the window. Kate’s other life is played out in a Napoleonic manor set in a sleepy village amongst the vineyards of the Loire Valley, France.

Her life has not always been so blissful. Widowed at the age of twenty-two, already with two children to love and protect, she fought her way up as hard and steep a path as any of her romantic heroines. Determined to turn adversity to advantage, Kate and her two children left England behind and drove off to the South of France. By teaching English and renovating ruined properties in France and then Italy, Kate more than survived.

Now happily married to a thoroughly English man and surrounded by a large, loving family, Kate enjoys every moment of every day… CARPE DIEM because TEMPUS FUGIT!

About the Publisher

CHAPTER ONE

Rosie sighed as she flicked impatiently through the pages of a magazine. A half-hour delay to the departure of her flight to Nice had just been announced. The two precious days that she had snatched from the jaws of her over-demanding work were already shrinking into a bad idea. After fighting her way through Friday-afternoon traffic to get to the airport on time, she now had to sit and wait. Why hadn’t she just gone home and tried to relax?
