There was more applause, but it seemed closer. She drew her head away from Ben’s, just an inch, the furthest she could bear to be apart from him, and out of the corner of her eye she saw that Lizzie and Dave were standing there, clapping.
‘Four weddings?’ Lizzie was saying, laughing.
She looked at Ben. He gazed back.
‘No more weddings,’ they groaned in unison.
Daisy felt Ben’s hand curling round hers, warm and familiar. It was a grasp that asked for strength as well as lent it. She smiled at him and she smiled at Lizzie. She was replete with hot pies and love.
Giving is a gift to yourself also.
Face the Wind and Fly
She builds wind farms, he detests them. Can they ever generate love?
After fifteen happy years of marriage, Kate Courtenay discovers that her charismatic novelist husband is spending more and more of his time with a young fan. She throws herself into her work, a controversial wind farm that’s stirring up tempers in the local community. Sparks fly when she goes head to head against its most outspoken opponent, local gardener Ibsen Brown – a man with a past of his own. But a scheme for a local community garden brings the sparring-partners together, producing the sort of electricity that threatens to short-circuit the whole system.
Loving Susie
She thought she knew her husband, but he’s been keeping a secret … about her.
Scottish politician Susie Wallace is under pressure. She risks censure from her Party for her passionate and outspoken views on arts funding. A charity she’s involved with runs into difficulties. And a certain journalist seems to have it in for her.
Susie stumbles across some information that rocks her world but not, apparently, her husband’s – Archie has been in on this particular secret for thirty years. Now Susie wonders if she can trust him at all. Soon, unemployed son Jonathan and successful daughter Mannie begin to feel the fallout too, fracturing the family and leaving Susie increasingly isolated.
