"Lynsey Carne likes control. She likes her job. What she definitely doesn't like is relaxing or entertaining silly things like romance. So when her mother begs Lynsey to travel to Tennessee to help her sister Becca, who's just given birth and whose music star husband is about to go on tour, she finds the idea absurd. But Lynsey reluctantly agrees to fly over for a couple of weeks. She's met in Paradise Valley by her brother-in-law's grizzly friend Griffin. Her immediate attraction to him turns her world upside down. Lynsey struggles to stay away from the irresistible Griff. But it's just a fling and that's all it can ever be. Or so she tells herself . . . Can she help her sister and perhaps herself, too, or will her trip to Paradise Valley end with a packed bag and a flight home?"
"Can a little Cornish village panto convince a troubled Hollywood heart throb to act again? Oh no it won't! At least that's what Zach Broussard initially thinks when the eccentric Anna Teague tries to railroad him into helping out with her community pantomime production in the run-up to Christmas. Zach has his reasons for leaving Hollywood behind, and his retreat to the remote village of Polcarne in Cornwall signals the start of a new acting free life for him. But when Zach meets Anna's daughter, Rosey - an ex concert pianist who has swapped Mozart for panto tunes - he starts to wonder whether he could change his mind, and not just about acting. If nothing else, will the residents of Polcarne ensure Zach has a Christmas he never forgets? Oh yes they will!"
"Soundings and Choc Lit present the audio edition of Summer at Seaspray Cottage. What would you do if you inherited a Cornish cottage by the sea? If you're Thea Armitage, sell it as soon as possible. Whilst there's no denying that Seaspray Cottage has its charm, it just holds too many bad memories for Thea to consider keeping it - although at least spending the summer preparing it for sale gives her a distraction from troubles back home in Tennessee. What Thea didn't count on was her worst Cornish memory moving in right next door. Local bad boy Harry Venton played no small part in Thea's decision never to return to Cornwall 20 years before - and now he's her neighbour! Could things get any worse? Except Harry isn't the boy he was, and as Thea comes to realise that her opinion of him was built on lies and misunderstandings, perhaps things will start looking up for her summer at Seaspray Cottage . . ."
"Soundings and Choc Lit present the audio edition of A Cornish Summer at Pear Tree Farm. Nessa Vivian is determined to keep her parents' business afloat, but Pear Tree Farm near the backwater Cornish village of Polgarth didn't do well as farm, and it's not faring much better as a camp site. Maybe it's due to Nessa's habit of taking in troubled runaways, like ex-soldier Crispin, for next to nothing. Or perhaps her highly-strung sister Lowena is right - caravans named after Beatles' songs and homegrown pears are not enough to turn the farm into a tourist haven.
Then another troubled runaway turns up, posing the greatest threat yet. Ex-musician Ward Spencer from Tennessee is certainly intriguing, but could his plans to put nearby Tregereth House on the map mean Pear Tree Farm is finished - or does his arrival signal a second lease of life, and not just for Nessa's business?"
"When Maggie Taylor, a cake decorator and Chad Robertson, a lawyer from Nashville Tennessee, meet at a wedding in Cornwall, it’s not under the best circumstances. They have both been assigned to ‘the reject table,’ alongside a toxic collection of grumpy great aunts and bitter divorcees. Maggie has grown used to being the reject, but when Chad helps her out of a wedding cake disaster, she begins to wonder whether the future could hold more for her…"
"Lily Redman is sure of two things: that she knows good food and that she gets what she wants. And she wants to make a success of her new TV show, Celebrity Chef Swap. Back from a stint in Afghanistan, Kenan Rowse is recovering from a messy divorce, and not looking for love. So when he lands a job as Lily’s driver, he’s not too pleased to find they can’t keep their hands off each other!"
"Travelling from the UK to Nashville, Tennessee, for a week of honky-tonks, karaoke and cowboys, is definitely not Claire Buchan’s idea of a good time. But she can’t avoid her sister’s hen party. Then she meets Rafe Castello, a handsome, roguish cowboy, who seems to have far more to him than meets the eye. Can Claire keep the holiday mantra of ‘what happens in Nashville, stays in Nashville’ or are some things are too difficult to leave behind?"
