How to Mend a Broken Heart

This is a gorgeous romance, celebrating all things DIY, including home renovations, up-cycling, upholstery, sewing and crafts.

When you know how, you can make anything from scratch, including a new life after love...

When Leanne and Richard bought a dilapidated old seaside cottage to renovate together as their forever home, their future was full of hope and promise.

But heartbreak was just around the corner: fast forward a few months and Richard is gone. With his death, Leanne finds herself stony broke, faced with an uninhabitable home and lacking even the basic skills to do it up herself.

With the help of the friendly woman who runs the library and the reluctant assistance of the man who works in the local hardware shop, the cottage is lovingly restored. But broken hearts aren't so easy to fix... are they?
