Linn B. Halton

What do you do when your best friend has an affair with your husband of twenty-five years? The father of your two children and the person you trusted with your heart? Not to mention the best years of your life ...Well, you pack your bags, grab half of the equity in the house you've both lovingly restored and run away to an idyllic little cottage in the country. Only, it's not quite so idyllic when 1) the survey comes back to reveal 'rustic charm' actually means rundown. 2) The heavens decide to open on moving day and the rain just keeps on coming. Maddie Brooks grits her teeth and hires the highly recommended 'man who can', ex-soldier, Lewis Hart. As he rips out the very shabby, and decidedly not-so-chic kitchen, reality sets in. Not only is he the most abrupt person she's ever met, but the man is a Neanderthal! As the flood waters rise, and the village is cut off, everything that could possibly go wrong, does. Hitting the big five-o is the final straw. No presents, family or friends-just infuriating Lewis, who can't leave because the flood has now cut off his exit. How on earth is she going to get through this and put her life back together? Can Maddie Brooks become that 'fifty-and-fabulous' woman of her dreams?

A Cottage in the Country

Life is all about the choices we make…Holly is the envy of all her friends; she has lived with the gorgeous Will for five years. She supported him whilst his IT company grew and a life split between homes in the UK and Los Angeles beckons, offering them a glamorous and exciting lifestyle.A series of terrifying encounters unleashes an inherited psychic sensitivity within Holly and she begins to wonder whether the path she's on is the one she's destined to take. The thought of hurting the people she loves the most causes her to bury her emotions, until fate takes a hand. Suddenly her perfect life begins to unravel…“It's a gift to be shown something that allows you to make a difference and alter the outcome of someone else's life. However, the weight of the responsibility that goes along with that is huge and what about the ethics? The thing I have to ask myself is how did my actions change the future?” Holly Elizabeth Atherton

Never Alone

Can Kerra's Cornish hometown offer the fresh start she needs? When Kerra left the quiet Cornish town of Penvennan Cove for the bright lights of London she didn't look back. But after the death of her mother, she's decided it's time to face her past and return to the place she called home. Her father needs her, and perhaps she needs him more than she's willing to admit? Tackling town gossip, home renovations and a flame from her past, it's not quite smooth sailing for Kerra. Ross is the bad boy she was meant to forget, not a man who still sets her heart aflutter. As he helps bring her dream home to life, they begin to break down the barriers that have been holding them back and in the process learn things about themselves they never thought possible. As friends old and new come together, the future in Penvennan looks bright. Perfect for fans of Milly Johnson, Phillipa Ashley and Julie Houston.

Making Waves at Penvennan Cove

For twenty-one years the focus of Katherine Dale's life has been her work. Love interests and hobbies came and went, but what has always been there for her-the only constant other than her cat, named No. 4-was her nine-to-five habit. Until she's replaced. Having ignored hints of changes to come in horoscope forecasts written by a renowned astrologer, Mark Ainsley-Thomas, Katherine is angry at life and at herself. Mark is now an A-list celebrity in the UK and his new agent is determined to raise his profile in America. In order to cope with his increasing workload, he takes on the extremely talented James Kingman to assist him. Katherine is confused by James' very different style, at a time when she desperately needs guidance from the stars. Finding herself implicated in the headline, 'Mystic Love Triangle' she's just as surprised as everyone else! None of the men in her life are love interests-so what exactly does fate have in store?

Falling: The Complete Angels Among Us Series

Ci vuole un miracolo per sciogliere il suo cuore di ghiaccio Cosa fai quando dopo venticinque anni di matrimonio scopri che tuo marito ha una relazione con la tua migliore amica? Fai le valigie e ti trasferisci in un cottage isolato in campagna. La situazione, però, non è proprio idilliaca: la casetta avrà pure il fascino romantico della tipica abitazione inglese, ma non è messa così bene... Maddie Brooks non vuole abbattersi, stringe i denti e assume come operaio l’ex soldato Lewis Hart, che la gente del paese le ha raccomandato. Così quando comincia la ristrutturazione vengono alla luce la vera natura del cottage e... quella di Lewis! Non solo è la persona più brusca che Maddie abbia mai incontrato, ma ha i modi di un Neanderthal (senza offesa per l’uomo del Paleolitico). Mentre le piogge torrenziali isolano il villaggio, i lavori al cottage proseguono sotto il segno della sfortuna e sembra non ci siano prospettive di miglioramento, né dal punto di vista meteorologico né da quello della relazione tra Lewis e Maddie... Ma lei deve trovare al più presto un modo per finire la ristrutturazione e dare un nuovo inizio alla sua vita.

Appuntamento sotto la neve

Kerra and her childhood sweetheart Ross may have finally got together but they're having to keep their relationship a secret. But secrets don’t stay hidden for long in a community like Penvennan Cove... The second in the Penvennan Cove Cornish romance series.

Alcuni posti hanno il potere di imprimersi nella nostra anima Quando Ellie Maddison viene mandata in Italia per un viaggio di lavoro, non riesce a credere alla sua fortuna. Tra i vigneti illuminati dal sole e il rilassante fruscio degli ulivi, Villa Rosso è una parentesi rigenerante nella sua vita caotica. Quello che Ellie non poteva aspettarsi è di sentirsi così attratta da Max Johnson, il responsabile della splendida tenuta. Ben presto i loro destini finiranno per intrecciarsi come i rami di vite che ricoprono le colline intorno a Villa Rosso. E prima che se ne accorga, Ellie verrà risucchiata dalla suggestiva e misteriosa storia del posto. Perché ci sono segreti del passato la cui eco è ancora in grado di influenzare il presente. E il fascino magnetico di Max nasconde ben più di quanto Ellie immagini... Se vuole davvero fare luce su tutti i misteri legati a quel luogo ed evitare di perdere la cosa più importante della sua vita, Ellie dovrà fare i conti con sé stessa e imparare a seguire il suo istinto. E così, quello che è iniziato come un semplice viaggio di lavoro, potrebbe trasformarsi nell’avventura più incredibile della sua vita. Una storia romantica ed emozionante sulla travolgente forza dell’amore «Questo libro è una vera delizia, è stato il passatempo perfetto per i miei pomeriggi di relax.» «Le descrizioni di questa scrittrice fanno venire voglia di partire!» «Il mio cuore ha finalmente rallentato dopo aver finito questo libro. È scritto così magnificamente. Mi ha assolutamente toccato nel profondo.» Linn B. Halton È una scrittrice che pubblica romanzi anche con lo pseudonimo Lucy Coleman.
