Sancerre Wine Nights

A Feel-Good Cosy Romance of Love, Wine, and New Beginnings in Cornwall. For fans of Sophie Kinsella, Lucy Diamond and Jenny Colgan

By: Natalie Crutchlow

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

She inherited a crumbling wine bar, a forty-year-old secret, and a chance to finally choose herself.

Polly Truscott's life falls apart in the space of one very bad week. Made redundant from her PR job (for novelty socks, no less), dumped over a shared starter at Pizza Express, and watching her tidy, sensible London life crumble — Polly has absolutely nothing left to lose.

So when a solicitor calls to say her eccentric great-aunt Sancerre has died and left her a failing wine bar in Cornwall, on the condition that Polly run it herself for six months or lose it forever, she does the only sensible thing.

She says yes.

There's just one problem: Polly doesn't know a Chablis from a cooking sherry (a fact she discovers, disastrously, in front of an entire room of paying customers). Enter Jack Mercer — broody, infuriatingly capable local wine importer, who's already decided Polly is going to run the place into the ground, and who absolutely, definitely does not want to help her prove him wrong.

But as Polly throws herself into learning the trade, charming the locals, and slowly falling for the one man determined to resist her, she uncovers a stack of old journals hidden in a suitcase — and a love story her great-aunt buried for forty years. A story that's about to connect her and Jack in ways neither of them could have seen coming.

With a debt-ridden bar to save, a wine-importing rival ex to navigate, and a family secret that could change everything, Polly has six months to figure out what she actually wants — before time, and the bank, run out.

A warm, witty, laugh-out-loud cosy romance for anyone who's ever wondered if it's too late to start again — perfect for fans of feel-good romantic comedies set in cosy seaside towns, with a glass of something good always close to hand.

If you loved Jenny Colgan's cosy seaside escapes or Sophie Kinsella's laugh-out-loud charm, you'll devour Sancerre Wine Nights.
