The Little Shop of Hopes and Dreams

The Little Shop of Hopes and Dreams
Fiona Harper

Nicole Harrison is planning the proposal of the century. Too bad it's not her own…Nicole, a born organiser and true romantic, has created her dream job when she sets up the Hopes & Dreams proposal agency – staging YouTube worthy proposals… until she’s hired to plan a proposal by gorgeous photographer Alex Black’s girlfriend.Alex is the New Year’s kiss that Nicole hasn’t been able to forget – and now she’s planning his wedding to someone else! But if she lets herself fall for Alex’s charms, her reputation and business will be ruined before it’s even got off the ground! Suddenly, the girl who's always prepared is at a loss… and falling head over heels.Praise for The Little Shop of Hopes and Dreams"Sweet and romantic, a story guaranteed to have you smiling" - Milly Johnson"Perfect cosy feel you want from a good book" - Paris Baker's Book Nook"A nice warm hug" - Fabulous Book Fiend"Fiona Harper writes with an abundance of warmth and wit" - Dot Scribbles"I would whole heartedly recommend this and I will be looking what else Fiona has done" - Afternoon Bookery"A great romantic read" - Book Chick CityFans of Jenny Colgan, Abby Clements and Miranda Dickinson will love Fiona Harper's fresh, fun writing.

As a child, FIONA HARPER was constantly teased for two things: having her nose in a book and living in a dream world. Things haven’t changed much since then, but at least she’s found a career that puts her runaway imagination to use!

Fiona loves dancing, so clear the floor if you’re ever at a party with her, and her current creative craze (one of a long list!) is jewellery making. She loves good books, good films and good food, especially anything cinnamon-flavoured, and she can always find room in her diet for chocolate or champagne!
