Is there really such a thing as a second shot at true love? ❤️ #DreamingunderanIslandSkye by @lisahobmanauthor is a beautiful romantic journey with characters you'll fall in love with! 🌸⠀
⠀
After three wonderful years of marriage, librarian Juliette Fairhurst’s heart is shattered when her husband, Laurie, is taken from her much too soon. ⠀
⠀
Devasted, Juliette decides to take a sabbatical and reconnect with her mother’s birthplace, the village of Glentorrin on the picturesque Isle of Skye.⠀
⠀
Welcomed by most of the villagers, Juliette throws herself into an idyllic community life, taking on the role of temporary summer guardian at The Lifeboat House Museum; a role that offers her the perfect escape from the tragedy of her real life. ⠀
⠀
During her time on the island, Juliette clashes with brooding single dad and artist, Reid Mackinnon and is befriended by his son Evin and dog Chewie. It’s clear that divorced Reid is struggling and scarred by his own painful experiences. ⠀
⠀
Can these two lost souls find a lifeline to rescue each other?⠀
⠀
Or will their pasts scupper their second chance at real happiness?

Your best friend. Your worst nightmare... 🌹 #TheBridesmaid is the new nerve-shredding psychological thriller from international bestseller @ninamanning_author 📖 Out 27th May!

From the moment they met as children, Sasha knew that beautiful, wealthy, and confident Caitlin would always be her absolute best friend. Sasha would do anything to make Caitlin happy.

Even keep her darkest secrets…

The years have passed, but their friendship remains. And when Caitlin announces she’s getting married there is only one choice for the role of bridesmaid. Sasha will make sure Caitlin’s wedding is as beautiful and perfect as she is. Won’t she?

But as the big day approaches, cracks begin to appear. Because no matter what Sasha does, she never seems to make Caitlin happy.

And the secrets that once bound these two friends, now threaten to rip them apart for good...

Alice Lang was wearing her favourite scarlet dress

Alice Lang was wearing her favourite scarlet dress when she disappeared twenty-five years ago, and her memory still casts a long shadow... #TheScarletDress is the chilling, unputdownable new novel from @LouiseDouglas3, the bestselling author of #TheHouseByTheSea ✨ 📖 ⠀
⠀
In the long, hot summer of 1995, twenty-two-year-old Alice Lang rents a caravan on a holiday park on the outskirts of the lively holiday resort of Severn Sands. She befriends Marnie, a shy, damaged little girl whose father is the park's caretaker and whose mother died a few months earlier. Will, whose mother runs the bar, falls in love with Alice, and is unbearably jealous of anyone else she sees. Tensions rise until one evening Alice disappears from her caravan. She's never seen again, and only her scarlet dress is found washed up on the shore.⠀
⠀
A quarter of a century later, the town is run down and nobody comes there anymore. Mr and Mrs deVillars, former owners of the holiday park, have passed the failing business onto their son Guy, who promptly sells the land for development. Builders clearing the land to create an expanse of executive homes uncover human bones. It has to be Alice.⠀
⠀
Will and Marnie’s lives were entirely shaped by what happened that summer, and now Alice has been found, they must struggle to pin down their memories, to escape the secrets of the past, the lies they told and the unbearable guilt they're both carrying.⠀
⠀
They need to find out what happened to Alice. Who killed her? And why?

Natalie and Carl are newlyweds, but the honeymoon

Natalie and Carl are newlyweds, but the honeymoon period is over already... 💍 We're thrilled to reveal the cover of #ASecondHandHusband, Claire Calman's wickedly funny new novel. Out 16th June 📚 Available to pre-order and request on NetGalley now.
⠀
Carl has just announced he has bought their first home at auction without telling Natalie where it is, never mind showing her a picture of it.⠀
⠀
Natalie is horrified to discover that the dream home is in Little Wyford, mere minutes away from Carl’s ex-wife Antonia. And to make matters worse, Antonia’s palatial country mansion has a fully-functioning roof (and a heated swimming pool!), unlike the ramshackle cottage Carl has bought for them…⠀
⠀
Antonia is Little Wyford’s Queen Bee, mistress of the book club, organiser of the Christmas Fair and leader of the ladies-who-lunch. No matter how hard she tries, Natalie just doesn’t fit in, and when Antonia insists on referring to Carl as ‘Our Husband’, Natalie’s dreams of happily-ever-after take another nose dive.⠀
⠀
Second-hand furniture has much to recommend it, especially when doing up a country cottage, second-hand clothes can be ever-so chic, but second-hand husbands are proving to be a very bad idea indeed… Can Natalie ever escape the label of Wife Number Two or is she destined to share her husband forever?⠀
