The Telephone Box Library by Rachael Lucas

Burnt out after years of teaching in a city high school, Lucy heads to a tiny romantic village in the English Cotswolds: the perfect retreat for a stressed-out teacher. She’s found the perfect little cottage, with one condition – all she has to do is keep an eye on Bunty, her extremely feisty ninety-something neighbour . . .

With her West Highland terrier Hamish at her side, Lucy plans to relax and read up on the women of nearby Bletchley Park. But the villagers of Little Maudley have other ideas, and she finds herself caught up in the campaign to turn a dilapidated telephone box into a little free library. Distraction comes in the form of handsome treehouse builder Sam, a single dad trying to cope with his teenage daughter. Lucy finds herself falling for the charms of village life… and perhaps more. It seems Bunty has a special connection to Bletchley and the telephone box, one that she’s kept secret for decades . . .
