# Waste Not, Want Not in Applewell by Lilac Mills (Paperback)

George can't throw anything away. But he's in danger of throwing away a chance at love

**George Nightingale** is a hoarder with a house full of junk. For years he's kept it a secret, rarely leaving his house and keeping social interactions to a minimum, but his carefully balanced system is now under threat...

**Nessa Millbrook** can't wait to get settled into her new home in quaint, rural Applewell. Everyone in the village is so friendly - except her neighbour, George, who wants nothing to do with her. But Nessa isn't one to back down from a challenge and she's determined to win George over.

The years have taught George to shield his heart and trust no one. Yet Nessa keeps reaching out to him - does he have the courage to take a chance, and reach back?

**A gorgeous romance with characters readers will fall in love with, perfect for fans of Holly Martin and Portia MacIntosh.**
