They were partners, years ago, until Rory took off to find his brilliant career. Hollie found herself stranded in the world of single parenthood with her son Tom, and as a waitress at The Blue Moon Café, she is struggling to make ends meet.
When Rory reappears in her life, perched as he is on the edge of success, Hollie realises just how far she has let her own potential slip. And how dangerous it would be to admit her secret after all this time.
But when a TV company turns up to make a documentary about The Blue Moon Café in Camden Market, all hell breaks loose, and Hollie’s secret unravels in a very public way.
With the help of the film crew and the lively clientele from The Blue Moon Café, the solution unfolds on screen where sparks fly between Hollie and Rory. And where Rory and Tom together build a bridge directly into Hollie's heart.

REVIEWS: Once Upon a Blue Moon
'Unputdownable; Romcom at its best.'
'Thank you Anita Belli for brightening a cold winter's day by transporting me to the Blue Moon cafe and the world of Hollie, aka Rosie Cockles. I fell in love with the characters and didn't want to part company, when I came to the end of the story. The 'will they won't they' romance between Hollie and Ryan is acted out alongside the making of a reality TV show, in the Blue Moon cafe. It makes this story unique and very entertaining. I laughed out loud, bit my nails and swooned - all in the one day that it took me to devour this treasure of a book. More please!'
'What a thoroughly delightful and captivating read. I loved every page of this book and can’t wait to read more from this author. It was the cover that drew me in, but the story and characters that kept me reading.'
