Now Hester wants to make a good impression on her newest client, Jake Oakenfield, who was heroically injured saving an old lady, and is now laid up in a luxury hotel.

Cressy was born in South East London surrounded by books and with a cat named after Lawrence of Arabia. She studied English at the University of East Anglia and now lives in Norwich with her husband David. Cressy' s favourite things include terrifying ghost stories, lava lamps and romantic heroes, though not necessarily at the same time. She doesn' t (yet) have a dog of her own, but feeds her love vicariously through friends' pets, and was once chased around a field by a soaking wet, very mischievous Border Collie called Wags. When she isn' t writing, Cressy spends her spare time reading, returning to London or exploring the beautiful Norfolk coastline.
