Hannah and Andy have returned from their secret wedding and honeymoon. It’s a secret because Andy is the local Catholic priest. They return to some exciting news and begin a new adventure running a large dilapidated old vicarage up river in Bournebridge. Continuing with their climate-friendly enterprise development work, that had won Bourne Valley the National Emerald Award, they assemble a motley group of tenants for the vicarage to help them, including farm workers, an ex-professional rugby player, a lawyer and a retired bishop. It’s a roller coaster journey for the next year with community strife and some climate extremes… including a prolonged severe flood. Among the highs are the beginnings of new romances, businesses and sporting successes. This is a story of love and friendship as well as being a fascinating insight into the impact of climate change action and what you can achieve if your passion prevails.

The Girl at the Last House...

Liz Eeles

The girl stands on the clifftop, feeling the soft breeze lift her shining red hair and dry her tears. She can almost hear Ireland calling her home across the wild sea. But she can never go back. And in that moment, she swears no-one will ever find out why.

Freya is desperate for escape from her messy break-up when she’s offered a job caring for elderly Kathleen in the seaside village of Heaven’s Cove. Kathleen’s once-red hair is now a brilliant white, but there’s always laughter in her Irish lilt – until the day Freya finds her weeping, her gaze fixed on Driftwood House, perched on the cliffs above the village. She refuses to say what’s wrong…

Kathleen’s son Ryan, quiet with striking emerald eyes, resents that a stranger is caring for his mother. But as Freya presses him for answers on a long walk across a windswept beach, Ryan finally admits that Kathleen breaks down in the same way, on the exact same day every year – never telling anyone what is causing her pain.

Finding a photo of Kathleen as a young girl standing outside Driftwood House years before she says she moved to the village, Freya is determined to find the source of Kathleen’s heartache. But as she gets closer to Ryan, and to the sad, forgotten history of the house, Freya is faced with an impossible decision…

Should she share this heartbreaking secret with Ryan and risk their chance of happiness together? And will facing the truth bring Kathleen peace in her final years – or will it tear them all apart?

An absolutely breath-taking and heartbreaking story about healing old sorrows and finding new joys. Perfect for fans of Debbie Macomber, Barbara O’Neal, and anyone longing to escape to the rugged Devon coast.

With her chronic anxiety at a fever pitch, the last thing she expects is to meet a genuine romantic prospect. And she doesn’t, but she does get a text from a man who seems to think he’s her husband. Obviously, a wrong number—except, when she points this out, the mystery texter sends back a picture of them, on their wedding day. Isla cautiously starts up a texting relationship with her maybe-hoax, maybe-husband Ewan, who claims to be reaching out from a few years into the future. Ewan knows Isla incredibly well and seems to love her exactly as she is, which she can hardly fathom. But he’s also grieving, because in the future, he and Isla are no longer together. Ewan is texting back through time to save her from a fate he won't share with her; all she can do to prevent that fate is to learn to be happy, now, in the body she has, with the mind she has. The only trouble is the steps she takes in that direction might be steps away from a future with Ewan. Melissa Baron’s time-crossed romance features a quintessentially endearing and brave protagonist and an engrossing plot that will keep you listening until its breathtaking finish.
