What do you do when your fake engagement starts to feel too real…

Aspiring clothes designer Victoria Scott spends her days working in a bar in Chelsea, and her evenings designing vintage clothes, dreaming of one day opening her own boutique. But these aspirations are under threat from the new department store opening at the end of her road. She needs a Christmas miracle, but one is not forthcoming.

Oliver Russell’s Christmas is not looking very festive right now. His family’s new London department store opening is behind schedule, and on top of that his interfering, if well meaning, mother is pressing him to introduce his girlfriend to her. A girlfriend who does not exist. He needs a diversion. Something to keep his mother from interfering while he focuses on the business.

When Oliver meets Victoria, he offers a proposition: pretend to be his girlfriend at the opening of his store and he will provide an opportunity for Victoria to showcase her designs. But what starts as a business arrangement soon becomes something more tempting, as the fake relationship starts to feel very real. But when secrets in Victoria’s past are exposed will Oliver walk away, or will they both follow their hearts and find what neither knew they were looking for…

L’amore potrebbe nascondersi dietro ogni angolo
Londra. Victoria Scott è un’aspirante stilista e trascorre le giornate dividendosi tra il lavoro in un bar di Chelsea e la creazione di abiti vintage. Sogna di riuscire ad aprire una boutique tutta sua, ma l’inaugurazione di un nuovo grande magazzino nella stessa strada rischia di far naufragare i suoi piani. Il Natale di Oliver Russell non si preannuncia particolarmente allegro. L’apertura del nuovo megastore di famiglia è stata posticipata e, come se non bastasse, sua madre insiste perché le presenti una fidanzata. Fidanzata che, neanche a dirlo, non esiste. Oliver ha bisogno di un diversivo. Qualcosa che impedisca a sua madre di fargli perdere tempo mentre si concentra sugli affari. Così, quando incontra Victoria, Russell non ci pensa due volte a farle una proposta: se fingerà di essere la sua ragazza, lui le darà l’opportunità di esibire i suoi modelli. Ma quello che è iniziato come un accordo d’affari diventa presto qualcosa di più e la finta relazione inizia a sembrare ogni giorno più reale. Riusciranno Victoria e Oliver a far chiarezza nei loro sentimenti prima che il destino si metta nuovamente di traverso?

‘A modern, feisty heroine… Georgia had me rooting for Lily’s happy ever after right from the start.’ Jo Bartlett, Bestselling author of The Cornish Midwife series

Where saying I do is just the beginning…

Lily loves living in Hawke’s Cove, and planning her best friend’s wedding at the Hawkesbury estate is the icing on the cake. But when the estate’s owner dies, and his son cancels the wedding, Lily must face Henry Hawkesbury – a man she hasn’t seen since that fateful night ten years ago…

Henry wants nothing more than to return to Hawke’s Cove, sell his estranged late father’s estate and leave. He certainly does not want to host a wedding, or face Lily, who gets on with everyone – except him!

But when Henry needs Lily’s help, she will only provide it if the wedding can go ahead. Working together means both must face their pasts, and, in doing so embrace their future. But can two people afraid of love acknowledge what they have always wanted…?

Where there’s always a second chance at first love…

Zoe has spent her life facing battles: fighting her parents for independence, struggling with her feelings for local bad boy Finn and, after a car accident at eighteen, adjusting to the fact she would not walk again. She remained strong until the day Finn, the person she thought she could trust, broke her heart… Now a successful travel writer, Zoe is excited to review a new luxury hotel in the beautiful South Pacific – until she meets its owner…

Finn was never good enough for Zoe. He knew it. Zoe’s family knew it. The village of Hawkes Cove made sure he knew it. Proven when he let her down in the worst way possible. Now a successful businessman, he thought his past was behind him, until a journalist turns up to review his new resort…

As Finn shows Zoe the exotic wonders of the islands both face the fact their shared past might just be the beginning of a future. But only if Zoe can win the biggest battle of her life…facing up to her heart’s desire.
