One bizarre to-do list to earn her inheritance. One Spanish summer. One huge family secret. Julianamakes a modest living as an 'ethnic' TV/film extra - even though the only connections with her Spanish heritage are her cacti, Spanish classes, and some confused memories of a Spanish mother she hasn't seen since she was seven. When her beloved Uncle Arturo offers her the chance to discover her roots while housesitting his coastal home in a quiet corner of Andalusia, Juliana can't believe her luck. Especially when he reveals that the house will be hers if she fulfils ten life-enhancing 'Conditions' within 90 days. Redecoration of the house and a visit to the old film studio where her mother used to sew costumes seem ridiculously simple tasks for such a wonderful reward. But little does Juliana realise that there are family secrets and inherited rivalries awaiting her in sunny Spain, and the condition that she has to 'get on with the neighbours' - who include a ruggedly handsome but moody artist - may be harder than she thinks. The perfect escapist read for fans of Rosanna Ley, Jo Thomas and Sue Moorcroft.

The Spanish House

She plans to save a garden, might she end up saving herself instead? Andie Butts is escaping a series of unfortunate accidents which have left both her career as a garden designer and her relationship with fellow TV presenter Johnny up in the air. She's heading for Almería in southern Spain so she can visit the house by the sea where she stayed with her Grandie when she was a girl. She's not sure why it's taken her twenty years to return but she's shocked to discover the beautiful and beloved Mediterranean garden is neglected and overgrown. But then, Accident Andie strikes again as she is attacked by a wild boar, only to be rescued by a reclusive stranger and his strangely silent son, who are living in Grandie's house. To repay their kindness, she offers to restore the garden; since her life back home is anything but thriving, it feels like breathing life back into her childhood retreat might be a way of restoring the balance. But after forming a tentative bond with the odd little boy - and his darkly brooding flamenco dancer father, Vincente - perhaps she can breathe life into more than just the garden? An unputdownable romance set under the beautiful Spanish sunshine, perfect for fans of Rosanna Ley, Jennifer Bohnet and T.A. Williams.

After the break-up of her marriage, Imogen escapes to her aunt's converted lighthouse on Beachy Head. Writing for an online magazine but hoping to start a novel, she wants to be alone ... until she finds an entrancing flamenco CD in her borrowed car and contacts the artist via Twitter. It turns out that actor-musician Santiago needs help with English, and is soon calling her profesora. Through her window, the other lighthouse winks at her across the sea. The one where her father was a keeper, until he mysteriously drowned there in 1982. Her aunt is sending extracts from his diary, and Imogen is intrigued to learn that, like her and Santi, her father had a penfriend. Meanwhile, despite their differences - Imogen is surrounded by emotional and geographical barriers, Santi surrounded by family and land-locked Madrid - their friendship develops. So, she reads, did her father's; but shocking revelations cause Imogen to question whether she ever really knew him. Two stories of communication: the hilarious mistakes, the painful misunderstandings, and the miracle - or tragedy - of finding someone out there with whom you have an unforeseen, irresistible connection.
