The Patron Saint of Lost Souls

Book excerpt: Jude is the owner of a unique antiques shop in Cambridge. She makes it her mission to match cusomers with the special something that they are missing, a talisman to bring them what their heart desires. Unfortunately, Jude's life is not overflowing with the love she wishes for. However, when she 'inherits' a niece that she never knew existed, doubling her meagre family overnight, Jude's life is soon set to get a lot less lonely and a lot more interesting. Viola is a single-minded perfectionist whose only heart's desire is the position of Head Chef at one of Cambridge's most prestigious restaurants. But when Viola keeps bumping into a widower, Mathieu, she begins to discover that there's more to life beyond the kitchen.
