Two men. Two countries. One heart that can’t be in two places at once.
Home has always been where Maxine Henderson’s heart is—specifically, the postcard-perfect English village of Brookford, where she’s surrounded by family, good food, and a job she adores writing about all things seasonal, local, and delicious.
So when her husband, James, is offered a dream promotion in New York, Max wants to be happy for him. She really does. But leaving Brookford would mean walking away from everything she loves—including her best friend Richie.
Except Richie gets in first. He’s heading home to New Zealand, ready to start over in Queenstown. Suddenly, Max is the one left behind… and the future she thought she’d mapped out starts to blur.
Should she follow James to a sleek, high-rise life in Manhattan? Or take a leap into something completely different with Richie—and the promise of wide skies, mountain air, and maybe even something more than friendship?
From the cosy charm of the Cotswolds to the breathtaking beauty of Queenstown, Wish You Were Here is heart-warming foodie fiction about love, belonging, chasing your dreams, and learning that sometimes the hardest person to be honest with… is yourself.
Book one in the Queenstown series.
