Guesthouse owner Rupert and a whole host of old and new friends are there to make sure nothing gets in the way of Emmys happiness.But as Emmy gets close to the big day, a secret from the past throws everything decidedly off track. Will her idyllic French wedding go ahead as planned, or will Emmy run back home to England with a broken heart?This summer, escape to the rolling vineyards of France for an utterly uplifting read.
