A London Affair Kate leaves the countryside for a job in a posh
London deli and is soon surrounded by croissants and cappuccinos as
she finds herself at the centre of a delicatessen dating adventure.
Along with the job come new flat-mates, including the fun,
exasperating Imogen and her long-suffering boyfriend, Freddy. Kate
thinks she's doomed to early spinsterhood, but Immy has other ideas
and sends her friend out into dating land with unexpected
consequences for them all. This is a fun romance that takes the
reader from the King's Road to Cornwall with an eclectic bunch of
characters including an old hippy, a Russian property magnate and
an ex-boyfriend who doesn't know when to give up. French Kisses
When Rachel Thompson moved to France in her early twenties, little
did she suspect she would stay, become a successful artist and
marry Michael, the love of her life. Life in France is peachy until
Michael hits 40, discovers his inner love-rat and runs off with the
kids' young, skinny, dance teacher. Determined to rebuild her life,
Rachel recruits friends, neighbours and her children to help her
transform the family home into a cosy guest house, and soon
attracts an eclectic collection of visitors - and two quite
different admirers.
An Unexpected Affair After her divorce, Eleanor Mace decides to
begin a new life running a quirky bookshop in a quiet corner of
Devon. She adores her seaside home, and her bookshop - The Reading
Room - is a hit, and yet Eleanor is still unsettled ...Her grown-up
twins don't need her, her recent divorce has left her at a loose
end, and her subsequent move from London, in search of something
new has led her to...pretty much the same old life but with sea
air. So Eleanor goes online and rediscovers an old flame. Impetuous
and impulsive, but with her sister for protection, Eleanor sets off
to the South of France in search of a man she last saw in her
twenties. But will Eleanor find happiness on the Continent or does
it lie in rural England? With a cast of friends and relations
ranging from an ex-policeman (now woman), a go-for-it sister, and
love interest on both sides of the Channel, this gently humorous
story is both entertaining and wry. A Summer of Surprises The story
continues two years after the end of An Unexpected Affair. Eleanor
and Daniel have been dating for nearly two years and there are
plans afoot to celebrate their unofficial anniversary.Everything is
rosy until Freya, Daniel's ex-wife, suddenly gets in touch to
announce that she is on her way from London to see him - and to
meet a top-secret client who has extravagant plans. Meanwhile,
rumours are circulating of a theme park about to be built in
Combemouth that will threaten the beauty of the Devon coast - and
business at Eleanor's bookshop. Things take a turn for the worst
when Eleanor discovers that architect Freya and the new development
are closely connected. Furious when it seems that Daniel has sided
with his ex-wife, Eleanor decides to take a stand and rallies the
whole town to protest against the plans. The story comes to a happy
conclusion, but not before a trip to Spain and a surprising
discovery that launches Eleanor into the spotlight.

South African drama following Gerrit Wolfaardt (Jan Ellis), a young
white man who has grown up believing blacks to be an inferior race.
He decides he must help rid his country of its native Africans but
gradually realises he is in the wrong with the help of college
student Celeste (Liezel van der Merwe) and pastor Peter (John
Kani). After undergoing this change of heart he tries to make peace
between both races but there are some who are sceptical about his
motives, including Moses (Mpho Lovinga), once a victim of Gerrit's
violence.
When a ghost ship is spotted on the horizon one spring evening,
bookseller Eleanor Mace decides to investigate the myths and
legends of Combemouth, the Devon seaside town where she runs The
Reading Room. As Eleanor digs deeper into the town's history, she
becomes intrigued by a Victorian crime report that seems to have
unexpected links to the present day. As Eleanor begins to uncover
the truth she has an unexpected challenge on her own horizon.
Daniel - her husband of six months - is determined that they give
up their separate homes and find a new place together. But Eleanor
adores her cottage by the sea and resists, guaranteeing that things
turn a little frosty as the summer begins. A celebrity book launch,
an exploding dress and some salsa-dancing pensioners make this a
mystery with a difference.
