It is the summer of 1914 and Britain teeters on the brink of war. Society girl, Millicent Awbridge, is oblivious to the impending conflict and preoccupied with the recent shooting of her horse. When she confronts the culprit, Ryan O'Flynn, a groom in her father's service, Millie finds romance rather than hostility. The encounter sparks a series of events that brings Millie's burgeoning womanhood to fruition. Millie and Ryan's affair is conducted in secret but Millie's aunt has her suspicions and is determined to bring an end to it. Inevitably, the war also impacts on the young people's lives and others are implicated in the muddle. Will Millie and Ryan ever be truly united? A subtle romance, set in England during the First World War. "Millicent is vivacious, endearing and determined. I truly enjoyed her character a great deal from the first page to the last. She reminded me of Sybil from Downton Abbey; in fact, this novel has other overtones from that drama," (Romantic Historical Reviews). "As a romance, it ticks all the right boxes, and it’s a pleasure to see it come with a well-written story behind it. Readers looking for a HEA will certainly enjoy it," (4-star review, Bookangel.co.uk).

Even though her father's deathbed wish was for all his girls to find husbands and leave Kansas, Rose has no desire to move. When the farm is sold to the Duke of Moreland, Rose stays on but is unprepared for the passion the Duke brings into her life.

Sometimes, when a heart breaks, the damage is so severe the only way it can heal is to return it to the land where it was born. Knowing this, Millie Handley makes one request of her husband, Dan, when she discovers her cancer is terminal-to return home to Nebraska and build the house he's been dreaming of since he was a little boy. Two months after Millie's funeral, Dan finds himself pulling up the rutted, dirt driveway that winds around the banks of Chelsea Lake, headed toward a desolate future he's not sure he wants to survive. Unable to grieve and desperate to forget the life he lost, Dan locks himself in his great-grandfather's cabin and allows the pain to consume him, like a grass fire burning out of control. Stacy Ruzicka's final promise to her best friend, Millie, was to help Dan through the pain, and she's determined to do just that-whether he wants her to or not. Stacy and Dan have known each other longer than their memories reach back, and she knows him better than he knows himself, but the harder she tries to force Dan to rise from the depths of his grief and take that first breath of life again, the harder he pushes her away-until he's suddenly pulling her into his arms and into his healing heart.

Twelve books, nine friends, four babies and one unimaginable tragedy that will change their small town forever. The Barrington girl-posse is back. With friendship ties stronger than ever and often hilarious girl-banter, the women we know and love spontaneously begin a book club. Yes, it’s about reading books, but it’s also a way to ensure they catch up, altogether, one night per month. Leaving little ones with their menfolk, book club becomes the place to share fun and laughter along with hopes, dreams, secrets and fears. And lots of coffee, wine and food. Over the course of a year, twelve books are read, four babies are born, relationships grow, businesses change and newcomers arrive. But when tragedy strikes one of their own, their small-town world is spun off its axis. Now book club is more than girl-chat and paperbacks. It’s where they share their grief and help their small town recover.
