Introducing Lisa Blake, the purrfect pet sitter!
When Lisa Blake’s life in London falls apart, she returns to her hometown rebranding herself as ‘the purrfect petsitter’ – which may or may not be false advertising as she has a rather unfortunate habit of (temporarily) losing dogs!
But being back where she grew up, Lisa can’t escape her past. There’s her estranged best friend Flick who she bumps into in an embarrassing encounter in a local supermarket. And her first love, Nathan Baker, who, considering their history, is sure to be even more surprised by her drunken Facebook friend request than Lisa is.
As she becomes involved in the lives of her old friends Lisa must confront the hurt she has caused, discover the truth about her mysterious leather-clad admirer, and learn how to move forward when the things she wants most are affected by the decisions of her past.

Acknowledgements
This book wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for the team of people who picked me up and started to put me back together when my health fell apart.
I would like to thank my mum, dad, husband, children, brothers and sisters (both blood and in law).
To the team of parents who rallied round, got everyone to where they needed to be and became true and dear friends during this time, I owe you more than just a few words, but I hope that this goes some way to showing you all how much you mean to me. Thank you.
