pregnancies 'Every time you discover a new Milly book, it's like
finding a pot of gold' heat Three South Yorkshire friends, all on
the cusp of 40, fall pregnant at the same time following a visit to
an ancient fertility symbol. For Helen, it's a dream come true,
although her husband is not as thrilled about it as she had hoped.
Not only wrestling with painful ghosts of the past, Helen has to
deal with the fact that her outwardly perfect marriage is crumbling
before her eyes. For Janey, it is an unmitigated disaster as she
has just been offered the career break of a life-time. And she has
no idea either how it could possibly have happened, seeing as she
and her ecstatic husband George were always so careful over
contraception. For Elizabeth, it is mind-numbing, because she knows
people like her shouldn't have children. Damaged by her
dysfunctional childhood and emotionally lost, she not only has to
contend with carrying a child she doubts she can ever love, but she
also has to deal with the return to her life of a man whose love
she must deny herself. Praise for Milly Johnson: 'A glorious,

to find a friend to lean on. Carla Pride has just discovered that
her late husband Martin was not who she thought he was. And now she
must learn to put her marriage behind her and move forward. Molly
Jones's ex-husband Harvey has reappeared in her life after many
years, wanting to put right the wrongs of the past before it is too
late. And Will Linton's business has gone bust and his wife has
left him to pick up the pieces. Now he needs to gather the strength
to start again. Can all three find the comfort they are looking for
in The Teashop on the Corner? And as their hearts are slowly mended
by Leni, can they return the favour when she needs it most? Praise

A gorgeous read full of love, life and laughter from the Sunday
Times bestselling author 'A warm hug of a book'S Magazine Behind
every successful man is a woman. Behind the fall of a successful
man is usually another woman. Sophie Mayhew looks like she has the
perfect life. Wife of rising political star John F Mayhew, a man
who is one step away from the top job in the government, her
glamour matches his looks, power, breeding and money. But John has
made some stupid mistakes along the way, some of which are
threatening to emerge. Still, all this can still be swept under the
carpet as long as Sophie 'the trophy' plays her part in front of
the cameras. But the words that come out of Sophie's mouth one
morning on the doorstep of their country house are not the words
the spin doctors put in there. Bursting out of the restrictive
mould she has been in since birth, Sophie flees to a place that was
special to her as a child, a small village on the coast where she
intends to be alone. But once there, she finds she becomes part of
a community that warms her soul and makes her feel as if she is
breathing properly for the first time. Sophie knows she won't be
left in peace for long. Now she must decide: where does her real
future lie? Praise for Milly Johnson: 'The feeling you get when you

and all for one! When dynamic, power-dressing Christie blows in
like a warm wind to take over their department, five very different
women find themselves thrown together at work. But none of them
could have predicted the fierce bond of friendship that her
leadership would inspire ... Anna, 39, is reeling from the loss of
her fiance, who ran off with a much younger woman. Her pride in
tatters, these days Anna finds it difficult to leave the house. So
when a handsome, mysterious stranger takes an interest in her,
she's not sure whether she can learn to trust again? Then there's
Grace, in her fifties, trapped in a loveless marriage with a man
she married because, unable to have children of her own, she fell
in love with his motherless brood. Grace worries that Dawn is about
to make the same mistake: orphaned as a child, engaged to love-rat
Calum, is Dawn more interested in the security that comes with his
tight-knit, boisterous family? When a sexy, footloose rock singer
catches her eye, will Dawn have the courage to follow her heart? At
28, Raychel is the youngest member of their little gang. And with a
loving husband, Ben, and a cosy little nest for two, she would seem
to be the happiest. But what dark secrets are lurking behind this
perfect facade, that make sweet, pretty Raychel so guarded and
unwilling to open up? Praise for Milly Johnson: 'Every time you
