Meanwhile, a visit from Lizzie's beautiful daughter Ella puts other hearts in danger. At Blackpeak Station, Charlotte Black and her partner Rob are busy not only with sheep but also a fashion shoot featuring Italian male models. Of all the men at Blackpeak, will Ella fall for the one she can't have? And what of the striking man who Lizzie unwittingly ushers back into Charlotte's life?

Blackpeak Vines

Alyssa Wayne woke up with a start. She lay there holding her breath, listening intently to the quiet. After a tense moment, she let out her breath, relaxed, and was just about to turn over when she heard a soft scratching noise. The next sound she heard had her sitting straight up in bed. She was certain it was the click of the front door. She sat paralyzed with fear at the certainty that someone had just entered her apartment. She was equally certain it wasn't her roommate.

Faceless Fear

What’s the real recipe for happiness? An invitation to tuck in to a feast of friendship, food and finding your joy… Anna Carleton runs the best restaurant in Buttermere, Hesta. Her local food, seasonal recipes and the taste of the wild she offers brings diners from all over the world to this corner of Cumbria. But there’s a reason why Anna works every hour she can – and it’s time she faced it. Rose has spent her life farming the fells. It’s a hard life that’s not for everyone; Rose and her dad run the farm alone, and she can see they need to change if they’re to keep their home – even if change is hard to accept. Olivia knows people patronise her for being an ‘influencer’ – but she makes a living from her videos and beautiful pictures of her seemingly perfect life. As an online star, she’s used to getting things for free – but when real life threatens not to be so photogenic, she realises there are some things money or fame can’t buy. Will the rugged beauty of the Lakes and the delicious food it offers help bring them together, and maybe find the missing ingredients in their own lives?

The Restaurant at the Heart of the Lakes

A fantastic debut from a HILARIOUS and brilliantly ORIGINAL NEW VOICE in women’s fiction . . . ‘I loved it. It’s an absolute joy . . .

I suggested Kiss’s ‘Love’s a Slap in the Face’. It didn’t go down well. When she was a teenager, Zoë Frixos fell in love with Simon Baxter, her best friend and the boy next door. But his family moved to America before she could tell him how she felt and, like a scratched record, she’s never quite moved on. Now, almost twenty years later, Simon is heading back to London, newly single and as charming as ever . . . But as obstacles continue to get in her way – Simon’s perfect ex-girlfriend, her brother’s big(ish) fat(ish) Greek wedding, and an obnoxious publicist determined to ruin her career – Zoë begins to wonder whether, after all these years, she and Simon just aren’t meant to be. What if, despite what all the songs and movies say, your first love isn't always all it's cracked up to be? What if, instead Zoë and Simon are forever destined to shuffle around their feelings for each other, never quite getting the steps right . . . With a smart, relatable central character and razor-sharp wit, Love Songs for Sceptics is perfect for fans of Mhairi McFarlane, Lucy Vine and Lindsey Kelk. ‘Brilliantly written, Love Songs for Sceptics is warm, engaging and so funny. I am officially a huge fan and can't wait for more from Christina’ LUCY VINE ‘Christina is a breath of fresh air, and her book throbs with fun and sentiment.

And also made me hungry for Greek food!' CATHERINE BENNETTO, author of How Not to Fall in Love Actually

Love Songs for Sceptics

FROM BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF REVERSE HAREM ROMANCE JAYCE CARTER Book two in The Devil’s Luck series I don’t bow to my demons—I prefer being on top. When I died and went to the Chasm, I’d planned to keep my head down and my mouth shut. That didn’t work out too well, however, and now I’ve taken over as one of the four Demon Lords who runs the place. I have to settle into my new job, learn to control the unruly spirits under my command and hopefully avoid getting murdered by the many people who want my position. To make it all worse, an angel shows up to tell me about an increase in demon possessions, which is now somehow my problem. The other Demon Lords aren’t making things any easier on me, either, and I have no idea how to deal with the walking red flags I’m stupidly attracted to. Of course, if I can’t figure out the possessions and stop them before they throw everything into chaos, my complicated love life won’t matter. Who would have figured averting an apocalypse would be the easy task?

Devil May Care

'Community spirit' is not a phrase in travel junkie Taran Rossi's vocabulary. As a former 'third culture kid' and now spicy street food connoisseur and social media influencer, he's never really stayed in one place long enough to feel part of a community. And that's just the way he likes it. But a springtime stint house sitting for his grandmother on Rendezvous Lane in East Nashville could lead to a long overdue wake-up call. With the help of single mum Sandy Warner and her young son Chip, can Taran come to understand that sometimes it's not about the place - it's about the people?
