Three Miles West of Wonderful
(2026)(The second book in the Six Miles South series)
A novel by Victoria Connelly
The second book in an exciting new trilogy by the bestselling author of The Rose Girls and The Book Lovers series.
Three women. Three journeys across Europe. Three chances to begin again.
As spring turns to summer, Laurie and Santi leave Tenerife for Seville, where their whirlwind romance burns brighter than the Spanish sun. After decades in a loveless marriage, Laurie finally feels alive. But can she really trust a man so much younger than her?
Nuala thought driving away from her cheating husband would leave her old life behind. Travelling through France in her motorhome and documenting every mile on YouTube, she’s finally embracing her freedom – until an unexpected message from the woman her husband left her for changes everything.
Following the century-old sketchbooks of Clara Beech, Elise continues her exploration across Italy. But when American photographer Jesse joins her journey, she’s forced to wonder if she’s uncovering Clara’s past – or risking her own future.
Before summer is over, Laurie, Nuala and Elise will discover that the road to freedom is rarely the one they expected to take.
Final book coming in summer 2027.
