How To Mend a Broken Heart

Life is good for nurse Kat. That is until the man she intended to marry legs it, she’s unexpectedly promoted to a position with too much responsibility, and a patient arrives on her ward under strange circumstances.

Susan is a mystery. She refuses to speak or interact with anyone, she’s obsessed with a book of fairy tales, and the only name in her diary is that of Rhys – a plumber she barely knows.

Down-to-earth Rhys is trying to get his life back on track after the death of his beloved brother. His mum is his priority, and she needs him as much as he needs her. Or at least she did, until she starts disappearing, leaving him to find comfort in the form of his brother’s girlfriend.

Complicated is an understatement.

As the lives of these three lost strangers intertwine, will they find a way to lay ghosts past, present and future to rest? And when the chance comes to mend their broken hearts, will they be brave enough to take it? A compelling, heartbreaking tale perfect for fans of Jojo Moyes, Lucy Dillon and Mhairi McFarlane


Anna spent almost twenty years trying to shoehorn writing into her career as a marketing manager for dance and theatre companies.

Three years, lots of tears and some slightly hairy bank balance moments later, she met Kirsty Greenwood and the rest, as they say, is history. Anna lives on a dairy farm in Cornwall with her husband and two children. She is the bestselling author of 'Her Best Friend's Secret' and 'The Lost Wife'.
