Is he just a summer fling? Or the one she's been waiting for... How
Lauren thought her summer holiday would go: Priceless mother-son
memories of swimming and sunshine before Charlie leaves for
university. How things actually are, now they're here: Charlie
refusing to speak to her, locked in a darkened room in their
Corsican cottage, and a creeping sense of dread contemplating the
rest of her life alone. Although Charlie has decided that holidays
with mum are now deeply uncool, Lauren is determined not to waste
this trip. Then she meets James, who was supposed to be holidaying
with his daughter but is now, like her, unexpectedly flying solo.
Lauren is soon sneaking away for romantic dinners under the stars.
Instead of the end of something, she hopes this could be a new
beginning. But what happens when Lauren and James pick up their
emotional baggage back home? And what will their kids make of their
mid-life rom com in the making? A hilarious and heart-warming tale
of second chance love, perfect for fans of Sophie Kinsella, Kristen
Bailey and Jill Mansell. Readers are falling in love with Fiona

Race. She knows the other mothers have been in training for at
least three months - even though they're trying to pretend that
they haven't. Laura's vowed never to take part, but the morning of
the School Sports Day she makes a fatal error and promises her

inevitable humiliation, she is horrified to spot her husband Jed

him. Determined to put up a fight and to show Jed there is still
plenty of spice left in their marriage, Laura decides it is time to
give her body the work out it has been desperately crying out for.
But when Laura makes a special new friend at the running club that
she has joined, she gets much more than she bargained for. From

struggling into the last playsuit in Topshop, this novel is full of
humour and Laura is a true heroine for our times. A sparkling,
witty novel, that fizzes off the page.

and has serious pre-wedding jitters. She adores Ryan but can't
figure out how to fit into his grown-up, family-sized life. There's
that fridge, for starters. That, too, is family-sized, with a
gadget on the front that spits ice in her face. More alarming still
are Ryan's children, Daisy, 10 and Josh, 13, who clearly don't
relish the prospect of Hannah, a free-spirited greetings card
illustrator, becoming their step-mum. So she fires off invitations
to a hen weekend - just the ticket to get her into the marrying
mood. Trouble is... New mum Sadie is leaving her twin babies for
the very first time with their terrified dad... Lou is unaware that
her long-term man Spike is desperate to bundle her onto that
Glasgow-bound train so he can hot-foot it round to see his secret
fling Miranda... And, unbeknown to the girls, Johnny, their sexy

happen. Perfect for fans of Jill Mansell and Sophie Kinsella.
