A brand new heartwarming Christmas romance

Honeymoon for One

Saving the Star

Holding on to Bluebell Lodge

Partners in Crime

It's 1924 in Cheshire, England, and the grand estate of Hartwell Hall has had some strange complaints from its guests. With suspicions of ghosts and hauntings arising, Hartwell's owner, Vincent, does the only thing he can think of to salvage his family-inherited business before the guests are scared away for good: enlist the help of a paranormal investigator. However, his daughter, Felicity, has no reason to believe in the supernatural and can't stand the thought of throwing well-earned money away on an obvious con-woman like Blair Nelson, who claims to have been able to feel the presence of the dearly departed all her life. A stubborn, money-minded sceptic and barmy ghost-hunter in the same room is hardly a good idea, then, and the only thing worse is them being forced to work together to explain Hartwell's peculiar occurrences. But when Felicity faces something she can't explain or dismiss in the middle of a storm-induced blackout, only Blair can help her uncover the truth about the mysteries of her centuries-old home and the shadow lurking around it. Can Felicity trust Blair enough to unravel her family's secrets and open her heart to a new and unexpected love, or will Hartwell Hall always remain haunted and destined to run itself into the ground, Felicity along with it?

A Haunting at Hartwell Hall

Two lovers who have met across the centuries in different lives and different bodies find themselves meeting as two women unwilling to face the truth but even less willing to let each other go again in Rachel Bowdler's The Fate of Us. The rootless drummer in a struggling rock band, Drew has always felt adrift in life. So it comes as a shock when she meets a strange girl in a strange town and feels an immediate jolt of recognition. Drew knows her - but not from this life. And Amber - stubborn, solitary, and all too willing to shut everyone out after the loss of her mother - isn't the easiest person to convince of this. In their past lives, they've been doomed to meet only once a century, on the night before Halloween, before circumstances tear them apart. This time around, will they be able to break the cycle for good, or will their own fear and disbelief be the thing that keeps them apart?

The Fate of Us

"They were made from the same brushstrokes, and Eliza trusted each stained, rough bristle of him completely..." Nothing matters more to Benny Weatherford than the charming little art gallery he runs in the quaint Cornish coastal town of St Agnes - so when curator Eliza Braybrooke wanders in with plans to change everything, including his own work, he puts his guard well and truly up; especially when he discovers that his estranged father hired her personally. Henry Weatherford has never shown an interest in Benny's art or business before, though Benny has been working hard to break even so that he can finally pay his debts to his father and take over the gallery in his own name. Cold and disapproving of Benny's choices, their relationship has always been fraught, and he wants nothing more than to distance himself from his family once and for all, so after a little convincing, he decides to use the opportunity handed to him to do just that. With Eliza's unsolicited help, they scout new artists and revamp the crumbling little art studio, and despite all their bickering and misunderstandings, seem to get closer in the process. But Eliza is too tied up in the wealth and status Benny has long since left behind, and worse still, she is dating Benny's brother, Declan, who is just as frosty towards Benny as his father. And Eliza has just as many struggles of her own to contend with when she discovers that she hasn't been hired to revamp Benny's gallery at all, but to prepare it so that her father, Gerard, can get a share of Henry's business when it becomes profitable. Though she despises lying to a client, she is ruled by her loyalty to her father and Henry, and decides it isn't her place to tell Benny the truth, since they rarely get along anyway. But when a night stranded in St Agnes draws her attention to the underlying chemistry between them and she begins to learn of Benny's past struggles with family, addiction, and loss, as well as the free art therapy sessions he holds now to help people experiencing similar hardships, she finds it more and more difficult to lie to him. The art gallery is Benny's home, and it helps so many more people than just him. Eliza becomes set on changing Gerard and Henry's mind in order to save everything Benny loves. This small town, opposites attract romance makes for a perfect beach read.
