day of Christmas, a dating app offered me Twelve tailored chances
for perfect harmony . . . Kate Turner is happily single – a bit
too happily, in fact. Since returning to her hometown, the sleepy
village of Blexford, love hasn’t really had a look in. But Kate
does love Christmas. So when her best friend insists she signs up
to the Twelve Dates of Christmas, a brand new dating app service,
she doesn’t need too much persuading. Twelve perfect festive
dates with the area’s most eligible men – who could say no?
Amongst the twinkling lights and falling snow, over hot chocolates
and glasses of red wine, romance is easy to find. But with each
date, Kate learns more about the men, and even more about herself.
As the big day approaches, Kate’s left wondering – is it really

'An uplifting, happily-ever-after gem that epitomises the perfect
Christmas read' Northern Life A winter wedding of school friends
should be the highlight of Nory Noel's festive calendar. But that
group has long since drifted apart, and Nory is dreading the
lavish, week-long affair. Still, she supposes, being the only
single person means she gets a king-size bed in the idyllic castle
venue all to herself. As the champagne flows, the years roll back
and soon the air is alive with old sparks and old tensions.
Desperate for a moment of peace, Nory escapes and crashes into
Isaac, the castle's gardener - and her former school rival. Nory
and Isaac have more in common these days than they could ever have
imagined. But as she steals more time away to spend with him, Isaac
reveals an astonishing secret about his past. Nory is in a unique
position to help right this wrong - but uncovering the truth might
mean pushing Isaac away once more . . . Praise for Jenny Bayliss:

A December to Remember follows the three North sisters who rekindle
their broken relationship in the wake of their father’s death.
Wildly different half-sisters Maggie, Simone and Star have hardly
seen each other since their idyllic summers spent in the charming
village of Rowan Thorp, the home of their eccentric father,
Augustus. Known for the fruitful ways in which he and his bustling
curiosity shop kept the towns tongues wagging and ladies swooning,
Augustus was loved by all and known by none, not even his
daughters. Now, years later, the three estranged women are
unexpectedly reunited at the reading of Augustus’s will. Maggie,
Simone and Star are shocked to find out that Augustus has
engineered a series of hoops through which the three women must
jump to unlock their inheritance – the last thing any of them
want to do. But each sister desperately needs the money, and they
are in no position to rebel against their father's final wishes.
Spending the winter months at Rowan Thorp stirs up feelings with
forgotten flames, and makes the sisters confront the lives
they’ve left behind. As old wounds resurface and long-buried
secrets come to light, the sisters must learn to work together if
they hope to succeed. Sometimes the only way to move forward is to
go back to where it all began . . .
In life, we all experience painful events. Hearts get broken, a
friend lets us down, and the death of a loved one brings the
desolation of grief. Sadly, some life journeys also include abuse,
harm, betrayal or terrifying situations. How we cope afterwards
depends on many factors, but trauma often creates an emotional
wound. As time passes, some healing occurs naturally. Yet trauma
often remains in the psyche for months, years or even decades.
Carrying an emotional wound makes life more complicated. However,
everyone can begin to feel better, lighter and happier. Healing
starts with a deeper understanding of what happened, compassion,
self-love and renewed self-esteem. Heal Yesterday’s Trauma dives
into common areas of difficulties experienced in life. Each chapter
explores how trauma hinders happiness and how to turn it around.
Client stories—as well as those of the author’s—show how they
released their pain. There are also exercises, tools and wisdom
about becoming emotionally savvy, restoring boundaries and working
with anger without exploding. The book includes a compassionate
exploration of forgiveness and advice on how to heal a broken
heart, as well as how to find peace after the death of a loved one.
The book's theme is to help people re-find their inner happiness.
The Winter of Second Chances is the hilarious, heart-warming second
book from the author of The Twelve Dates of Christmas, Jenny
Bayliss. 'A gorgeous, cosy winter read that will transport you to
the coast on a windswept day' - Sophie Cousens, bestselling author
of This Time Next Year 'A tender and enchanting read, full of
quirky characters and second chances' - Jean Meltzer, author of The
Matzah Ball Annie Sharpe has it all - an acclaimed restaurant she
owns with her handsome husband Max, and two gorgeous grown-up sons.
But after one indiscretion too many, she leaves behind the only
life she's ever known. In search of a fresh start, Annie takes up a
position as a caretaker of Saltwater Nook, a creaky but charming
beach house on Kent's beautiful, wild coastline. The village
community is an eccentric but tightknit bunch, and Annie is swept
up in a whirlwind of their traditional festive celebrations, from
pumpkin carving to bonfires on the beach. It soon feels like home -
she even reopens the long-dormant seafront cafe. The only thorns in
her side are John, the owner's rugged but totally unreasonable
nephew who has his own agenda for the house, and a persistent Max,
intent on winning her back. Salwater Nook has been the perfect
escape, but Annie can't run from her problems forever. Will she
give her first love a second chance? Or step into the promise of a
new life? *** Readers are loving The Winter of Second Chances . . .
