Summary

A dream wedding in French wine country becomes the perfect venue for family drama in this heartwarming novel of love, family, and happily ever after. 
 
Matilda Parker is flying to France for what should be the wedding of her dreams. But she soon discovers that her dreams are beside the point. Her mother Freda has spent a year planning the perfect wedding, and nothing—not even a house full of relatives, the imminent arrival of her feckless son-in-law-to-be, or his irritating parents—is going to spoil it. 
 
On the other side of the village, Anna has problems of her own. With all her family about to descend, including her precious sons Joe and Sam, Anna has vowed that nothing will ruin their much-awaited summer holiday. Beneath a sweltering summer sun, two clans, a naughty dog, a gaggle of relatives and friends gather in the Loire. But when a visitor from hell arrives and Joe bumps into Tilly, it looks like all of Anna and Freda’s plans are about to go up in smoke . . .  
 
Tilly was previously published under the title A Perfect Summer Wedding.

Two young Vikings voyage deep into the Russian winter, a quest for glory that will lead all the way to ByzantiumConn Corbansson is a clever and strong leader of men and his cousin and best friend, the god-touched Raef, is his navigator and shield against evil. After joining a fur-trading ship to Russia they are forced to overwinter in the icebound village of Novgrod. But tempers flare in the confinement, and factions form – the far-faring Norse against the native Rus, the honour-bound warriors against the gold-seeking traders. Taking service with the leader of the Rus, Dobrynya, they travel south to Kiev, and on with a raiding party that will take them all the way into the northern reaches of the Byzantine Empire. Varanger, fourth in the compelling Life and Times of Corban Loosestrife series, is perfect for fans of Bernard Cornwell and Giles Kristian. ‘A potent blend of fantasy, history, and romance… a rousing, vivid tale rich with Nordic lore’ Publishers Weekly ‘Elements of romance, mysticism, and suspense are interwoven into one superlative, spine-tingling adventure’ Booklist ‘She is the finest author of historical fiction working in English today’ SF Site
