"Soundings and Choc Lit present the audio edition of A Vacancy for a Village Vet. Hannah and Daniel were teenage sweethearts, but then Daniel left their sleepy village of Middlefern and his grandfather's veterinary practice behind for the bright lights of London. Now, 15 years later, the prodigal grandson has returned to temporarily take over the village practice with a veterinary qualification and his dog, Sammy, in tow. Daniel is ready for rabbits with tummy aches, guinea pigs who've lost their squeak, plenty of cow complaints and a whole lot of memories - both good and bad. But is he ready to see Hannah again? Of course, a high-flying city vet like Daniel was never planning to stay in Middlefern for good - especially given his history with the place. But could another, even more important, vacancy convince him to change his mind?"
"New year, new Willow Jenkins? All Willow knows is that she needs an escape. So, she takes an extended break from her PR job and retreats to her grandmother's cosy cottage by the sea in Little Bluewater Bay, where a limitless supply of hot chocolate will soothe her broken heart and a limited wi-fi connection will prevent her workaholic tendencies.
Willow is soon made to feel welcome by the friendly locals – although grumpy artist Noah Atkinson doesn't seem to like her very much. Just what is his problem?
But then Willow is asked by her grandmother to approach Noah with a very special commission, only to discover that he hasn't painted people for a long time – and with good reason. Will he make an exception, and in doing so usher in a hopeful and healing new era for them both?"
