Eva was once a legendary fashion designer until, mysteriously, she
retired. Now widowed, she lives with her family in Salix House, the
home she's owned and loved for forty years. When the family
announces it's time to sell, Eva is deeply reluctant. The house
contains memories and secrets that are part of her, although she
never shares them. Megan is a fashion journalist working in London
who interviewed Eva for a magazine. Torn apart by the brutal end of
a love affair, Megan is drawn back to Salix House and Eva. Decades
apart in age, the two women share a bond. Both are hiding
something, but perhaps together they can confront their fears,
their past pain and their uncertain futures - and discover the
truth of Salix House's secrets.
What if your estate agent could find you not just your perfect
house, but your perfect job, your perfect partner... your perfect
new life? Meet Iris Atkins. On paper, Iris is an estate agent, but
she's not just good at finding suitable houses for her clients. In
fact, she has a gift: Iris is able to see into their lives and
understand exactly what is missing and what they need - not just in
bricks-and-mortar terms either. Of course, concentrating so much on
fixing other people's problems doesn't leave much time for
examining your own. Over the course of one whirlwind year Iris
discovers that while she may know what's best for everyone else,
she doesn't necessarily know what's best for herself - and what she
finds out could make her happier than she'd ever dreamed.

At the dawn of the twentieth century, Mina, Daniel, Yasha, and
Rachel are just a few of the many people leaving their countries
for America. They have great hopes for their new lives, but before
they can achieve their dreams, they must survive the long and
difficult voyage across the sea.
As passengers in an overcrowded steerage compartment, they must
endure hunger, thirst, and even brushes with death. And as they
struggle to hold on to their hopes for a better future, they find
that even under such harsh conditions, friendship and love can
flourish." Includes a reader's guide."
In a scene that echoes "Rapunzel," Megan looks down from her tower
room at a cloistered all-girls boarding school in England and
observes the arrival of the new laboratory assistant, Simon
Findlay.
As soon as their eyes meet, their love blossoms--and Simon begins
to scale the scaffolding into the tower room for clandestine
trysts. But when Dorothy, the school's science teacher and Megan's
guardian, discovers the young couple's affair, Megan's sheltered
world is shattered forever.
This haunting tale of treachery and betrayal is the second book in
the exciting Egerton Hall trilogy.
Once Megan, Bella and Alice shared a room. The Tower Room was
theirs alone, remote from the rest of Egerton Hall School, and here
they formed a deep friendship which would continue long after they
left their enchanted world. But now something is very wrong with
Alice - poisoned by dark memories and unable to speak to a single
soul. It seems that the ill-wishing placed on her has come true.
Even her closest friends don't seem able to save her from the
nightmare.
In a tale that mirrors "Snow White," eighteen-year-old Bella is
leading a carefree bohemian lifestyle the summer before college,
living and singing with a band in London and Paris. But over the
course of a few weeks, she finds herself in danger more than
once--and she can't help but suspect the two mysterious women who
remind her of her jealous stepmother, Marjorie.
