Rosie opens the front door expecting Christmas chaos.
She doesn’t expect her ex-husband — or the lawyer who says he owns her house.
Lavender Lane was meant to be the answer. Six women in their sixties, fed up with being sidelined, downsized and patronised, pooling everything they had to buy a beautiful old house and start again — on their own terms.
What they didn’t plan for was Derek.
Smug, entitled and armed with legal paperwork, Rosie’s ex arrives just days before Christmas to announce that he has a financial claim on the house — and he’s prepared to force a sale to get it. Suddenly, the future they fought to build is under threat.
As the festive season unfolds, the women of Lavender Lane refuse to go quietly. There are late-night strategy sessions fuelled by wine, tangled fairy lights, a wedding that changes everything, an unexpected baby, village politics, legal brinkmanship — and the fierce, funny solidarity of women who’ve already survived worse than this.
Seasonal Sassiness is a warm, witty, fast-moving novel about what happens when women stop apologising for taking up space. It’s about friendship that becomes family, courage that arrives later than planned, and the joy — and power — of choosing yourself at any age.
Funny, heartfelt and quietly defiant, this is a story for anyone who’s ever been told it’s too late… and decided to prove them wrong.
Because some lives don’t begin at twenty.
Some begin when you finally say: enough.
Genre: Romance
