An Escape to Provence by Sophie Claire

Daisy Jackson has unexpectedly inherited an old farm house as she is the last living relative who can be found of Jeanette.  Daisy had not even known of her existence.  Two years on and the renovation work on Le Mazet has not yet started.  Frustrated with the continued delays Daisy heads off to Provence to see the builder as he does not respond to her emails.  

The builder, Gabriel, had lived with Jeanette since the death of his family when he was a teenage boy and had expected to inherit the house himself but Jeanette's handwritten will could not be found. 

Gabriel is delaying the building work in the hope that Daisy will give up and sell the house.  In the meantime he is saving so that hopefully when that time comes he will have enough money to be able to buy back the house himself.
