Laugh out loud with the gorgeously romantic rural comedy from the bestselling author of A Cornish Summer Polly is content and settled in married life, until one comment shakes everything up.

So Polly does something rash. She allows her home to be used as a location for a TV advert. Having a glamorous film crew around will certainly put a bomb under the idyllic, rural life. Only perhaps she should have consulted Nick first . . . Because before the cameras have even started to roll - and complete chaos descends on the farm - Polly's marriage has been turned upside down. This time she really has gone too far . . .
