'Emotional' Kate Ryder Following the breakdown of her marriage,
Theo has bought a tumbledown cottage on the banks of the river
Tamar which divides Cornwall and Devon. The peace and tranquillity
of Boatman's Cottage, nestled by the water, is just what she needs
to heal. Yet soon after her arrival, Theo discovers a stash of
hidden letters tied with a ribbon, untouched for more than a
century. The letters - sent from the battlefields of France during
WW1 - tell of a young servant from the nearby manor house,
Abbotswood, and his love for a woman he was destined to lose. As
she begins to bring Boatman's Cottage and its gardens back to life,
Theo pieces together a story of star-crossed lovers played out
against the river, while finding her own new path to happiness. The
River Between Us beautifully explores the mystery and secrets of a

A sweeping, romantic debut set in Cornwall, reminiscent of
Rosamunde Pilcher. When artist Maddie inherits a house in Cornwall
shortly after the death of her husband, she hopes it will be the
fresh start she and her step-daughter desperately need. Trevenen is
beautiful but neglected, and as Maddie discovers the stories of
generations of women who've lived there before, she begins to feel
her life is somehow intertwined within its walls. But Maddie's
dream of a calm life in the countryside is far from the reality she
faces - and as she pulls at the seams of Trevenen's past, the house
reveals secrets that have lain hidden for generations.
In the bestselling tradition of Rosamund Pilcher, a gloriously
romantic novel of secrets and history, from the author of the
highly popular THE CORNISH HOUSE. Running out on your wedding day
never goes down well. When the pressure of her forthcoming marriage
becomes too much, Jude bolts from the church, leaving a good man at
the altar, her mother in a fury, and the guests with enough gossip
to last a year. Guilty and ashamed, Jude flees to Pengarrock, a
crumbling cliff-top mansion in Cornwall, where she takes a job
cataloguing the Trevillion family's extensive library. The house is
a welcome escape for Jude, full of history and secrets, but when
its new owner arrives, it's clear that Pengarrock is not beloved by
everyone. As Jude falls under the spell of the house, she learns of
a family riddle stemming from a terrible tragedy centuries before,
hinting at a lost treasure. And when Pengarrock is put up for sale,
it seems that time is running out for the house and for Jude.

Henry, Sunday Times bestselling author Boskenna, the beautiful,
imposing house standing on the Cornish cliffs, means something
different to each of the Trewin women. For Joan, as a glamorous
young wife in the 1960s, it was a paradise where she and her
husband could entertain and escape a world where no one was quite
what they seemed - a world that would ultimately cost their
marriage and end in tragedy. Diana, her daughter, still dreams of
her childhood there - the endless blue skies and wide lawns,
book-filled rooms and parties, the sound of the sea at the end of
the coastal path - even though the family she adored was shattered
there. And for the youngest, broken-hearted Lottie, heading home in
the August traffic, returning to Boskenna is a welcome escape from
a life gone wrong in London, but will mean facing a past she'd
hoped to forget. As the three women gather in Boskenna for a final
time, the secrets hidden within the beautiful old house will be
revealed in a summer that will leave them changed for ever. The
Path to the Sea beautifully evokes the mystery and secrets of the
