Opis

A change of scene can have both unexpected and happy consequences. Enjoy these warm-hearted contemporary sweet romances. WRITTEN IN THE BEADS June goes to Africa for a working holiday after being dumped by both her boyfriend and her employer in the same week. She meets Sam, who seems to think she's there to find a rich husband. Unwittingly, she's landed in the middle of a conspiracy and a young African woman, knowing herself to be in danger, passes June secret information hidden in beadwork. Can she help bring the fraudsters to justice? MUTUAL DESIGNS Kay is proud of the company she's created. Kilderscope Interior Design might be a relatively new and small-scale business but her reputation is growing and media coverage is promising. When an oil-rich sheikh requests her company's professional services, she finds he will only deal with a male chief executive. To bring the deal off she needs a suitable man to play the part, so she hires Rob, believing him to be an out-of-work actor. That's her first mistake... FERRETING ABOUT Nicky is delighted to get through the selection process to join the Eurostar Customer Services Team, thanks to her people skills and her facility with French. When she's asked to see an unaccompanied minor onto the train, it's all in a day's work. But the scheming 12-year-old has not only forged her papers in order to cross the Channel and find the dad she's never met, she also has her pet ferret with her, or at least she did... NEW LEASE OF LIFE Single mum Rosie struggles to hold onto her job and keep her teenage son out of trouble, till her friend Kate comes up with a suggestion that will help them both. The catch is, it involves adjusting to country life, but as it's supposed to help Kate catch a man, it's all in a good cause. Little does Rosie realise that local landowner Hugh has ideas of catching her. POSING THE QUESTION Fiona is thrilled when she hears of an old painting connected to her family. The trouble is, in order to get a glimpse of it, she must trespass on private property, a stately home no less. The painting's owner, Lord Marcus Derringham, is not very appreciative of her unofficial visit, until he discovers why she needs to see it. POWER TO THE PEOPLE Recently elected Member of Parliament Hilary Proudfoot, is dedicated to her constituency work, single-mindedly so. She's not looking for another relationship, so it's rather inconvenient when rural development consultant Rob McKenzie sets her pulse racing.
