Summer at
TIFFANY’S
by
Karen Swan
A wedding to plan. A wedding to stop.
What could go wrong?
Cassie loves Henry. Henry loves Cassie. With a Tiffany ring on her finger, all that Cassie has left to do is plan the wedding. It should be so simple but when Henry pushes for a date, Cassie pulls back.
Henry’s wild, young cousin, Gem, has no such hesitations and is racing to the aisle at a sprint, determined to marry in the Cornish church where her parents were wed. But the family is set against it, and Cassie resolves to stop the wedding from going ahead.
When Henry lands an expedition sailing the Pacific for the summer, Cassie decamps to Cornwall, hoping to find the peace of mind she needs to move forwards. But in the dunes and coves of the northern Cornish coast, she soon discovers that the past isn’t finished with her yet.
Christmas on
PRIMROSE
HILL
by
Karen Swan
On Primrose Hill . . .
Twinkling lights brighten London’s Primrose Hill as Christmas nears – but for Nettie Watson, it’s not parties and presents that she wants.
Promises are made
For Nettie, Christmas only serves as a stark reminder of the life she used to have . . . One day she made a promise to never leave home, and so far she’s stayed true to her word.
Promises are broken
Under the glaring spotlight of the world’s media, Nettie is unexpectedly caught up in a twenty-first-century storm . . . Her exploits have made her a global name and attracted the attention of one of the world’s most eligible men – famous front man, Jamie Westlake. But now she has his attention, does she want to keep it?
The Paris
Secret
by
Karen Swan
Down a cobbled street in Paris, a long-forgotten apartment is found. Thick with dust and secrets, it is full of priceless artworks that have been hidden away for decades.
When high-flying Fine Art Agent Flora Sykes is called in to assess the collection, she is thrown into the very heart of the glamorous Vermeil family – and into the path of the terse and brooding Xavier.
Shying away from the instant attraction between them and reeling from a devastating family shock back home, Flora focuses on tracing the history of the paintings, delving deep into the Vermeil family’s past. But as she moves between London and Paris, Vienna and Antibes, she finds herself with more questions than answers. Xavier seems intent on forcing her out, but just what is he hiding? And will uncovering the truth heal the past – or destroy her future?
