Angéla Morelli paints the picture of a woman who has lost herself because she is always taking care of other people. Is happiness a choice? Read the answer in this light, moving and « feel good » novel.

It all began when Flore burned her redcurrant and ginger jam. Or when her father called for help, stuck in the old apple tree. Actually, no, it really began when her friends registered her for a jam making competition. Yes, it’s at that exact moment when Flore’s life took an unexpected twist.

Because the nearly 30-year-old, single mother was confronted with a challenge — to make a fig jam…without figs. And despite the rallying of the entire village to help her, it was impossible to find figs in the middle of this heat wave hitting the South-West.

Impossible? Not exactly. Because there is one person who has figs: Corto, the handsome and mysterious gardener that many of the townspeople distrust. And with good reason: he has tattoos and he gives off a bad boy aura.

So, yes, it all began like this, with a jam competition, a shortage of figs and Corto; his steamy body and mysterious past.

Angéla Morelli decided to write romance novels when she realized that she would never marry Rhett Butler and that it gave her something to do while waiting to finally meet Colin Firth. Writing givers her free rein to her penchant for intelligent and sexy men.
