    • Nick is the most intriguing man Nella has met in a while. He's a 9 in the looks department (no one gets a 10), he makes her laugh, and he keeps her company when she ends up in A&E. But they live hundreds of miles apart. Then Nella loses her job. There's a perfect role on offer at a holiday retreat in the Cotswolds. The catch is that her boss would be Nick. And that makes Nick the one man she can't risk falling in love with. While Nella struggles with her feelings, a Hollywood star has found a haven at the retreat. Lizzie's sworn off people - especially men - until her friendly new neighbours entice her out of her shell. Maybe she needs a flirtation - with gorgeous Nick, perhaps? Not with taciturn local Matthew, though, who definitely isn't a member of her fan club. Then an astonishing secret revealed changes everything. The scene is set for a fabulous new novel full of friendship, warmth and romance.

A beautiful Cornish setting, a chaotic family, a woman who's had enough of romance - or has she? The trouble with secrets is that you can't guess what the consequences will be . . . Lainey has lost everything. Luckily one little fib (OK, quite a big fib) helps nail her dream job. Soon she's living in a stunning house by the sea, fending off obsessed fans for a retired - if far-from-retiring - actor and organising his charming but chaotic family. It's definitely worth the challenge of keeping her secret. At least Lainey isn't looking for love. It's time for a break from all that. And yet . . . Seth, the actor's grandson, really is rather attractive. There's growing chemistry and a definite connection between them. But how would he react if he knew she hadn't been honest with him? Lainey's not the only one with a secret, though. Seth has one of his own. And everything's about to start unravelling . . .

Leszámítva az undok Henrietta nevű nőszemélyt (aki hagyta Mimit az esőben kutyagolni, és nem vitte el az autójával), a falu lakói roppant barátságosak. Különösen egy valaki extra vonzó – Cal, a karizmatikus, nyíltszívű, szexis pasi. Ahogy telnek az évek, Mimi a karrierjére koncentrál Londonban. És hiába botlanak Callal újra és újra egymásba, valami vagy valaki mindig közbeszól, hogy egymáséi lehessenek. De ha tényleg Cal az Igazi, akkor egyszer csak meg kell történnie a csodának.

But when you're trying to get off a speeding charge you just have to improvise, don't you? And it wasn't actually love at first sight. Still, it was undeniably a healthy attack of lust...
