A collection of three heart-warming and uplifting romantic novellas of holiday romance (previously published by DC Thomson as pocket novels)
SICILIAN ESCAPE:
Marianne Westlake is desperate for a break after her recent acrimonious divorce and seizes the chance of a holiday in sunny Sicily with her brother’s old friend, Gabe Alessandro, and his family. But Gabe, a handsome, charismatic international businessman, isn’t the teasing teenager she remembers and she’s unsettled by their instant attraction to each other. Between Marianne’s scheming ex-husband, problems in the Alessandro family’s hotel business and Alexandra, the woman Gabe’s family are determined to see him marry, the challenges mount up. As their feelings for each other grow, Marianne and Gabe must decide if they have the courage to seize this opportunity for a second-chance together.
FINDING CAROLINE:
Caroline Somerfield is on a mission to find herself and flees to her childhood haunt of Tremworthy in Cornwall, away from newspaper headlines full of her late husband, Jonathan Ghent, who purposely crashed his car before he could be imprisoned for embezzlement. When she meets the darkly handsome Rob Winters, her next-door neighbour at the cottage she rents, they’re both unsettled by the immediate draw between them. Rob was a successful young artist with a loving wife when he threw it all away. In a desperate attempt to turn around his selfish life he joined the army, but thanks to a hushed-up incident which left him scarred he’s now struggling to recapture his love of painting. The secrets they both hold close, and multitude of problems thrown their way seem to put any hope of a lasting relationship out of reach, but if they can find themselves and be honest about their past lives can love be far behind?
WRITTEN IN THE STARS:
Fran Miller has a bad case of writer’s block that is stopping her from completing the next instalment of her best-selling mystery series, and is convinced all she needs is to get away from her life in California. The perfect change of scenery comes when she accepts her old school-friend, Lucy’s offers to spend the summer in sunny Cornwall. Fran is definitely not looking for love but when the village baker, and bone-fide dream-boat, Charlie Boscawen, starts to romance her with his delicious cakes Fran’s good intentions fly out of the window. But her time in Tresidder is limited and when Charlie’s family problems keep piling up what will happen to them when the summer ends?
