As Eleanor begins to uncover the truth she has an unexpected challenge on her own horizon. Daniel - her husband of six months - is determined that they give up their separate homes and find a new place together. But Eleanor adores her cottage by the sea and resists, guaranteeing that things turn a little frosty as the summer begins.

Along with the job come new flat-mates, including the fun, exasperating Imogen and her long-suffering boyfriend, Freddy. Kate thinks she's doomed to early spinsterhood, but Immy has other ideas and sends her friend out into dating land with unexpected consequences for them all.

French Kisses When Rachel Thompson moved to France in her early twenties, little did she suspect she would stay, become a successful artist and marry Michael, the love of her life. Life in France is peachy until Michael hits 40, discovers his inner love-rat and runs off with the kids' young, skinny, dance teacher. Determined to rebuild her life, Rachel recruits friends, neighbours and her children to help her transform the family home into a cosy guest house, and soon attracts an eclectic collection of visitors - and two quite different admirers.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49516160385297,"sku":"GOR011972350","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49580018008337,"sku":"GOR008882144","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1849344426.jpg?v=1751442891"},{"product_id":"summer-of-surprises-and-an-unexpected-affair-book-jan-ellis-9781849344432","title":"Summer of Surprises and An Unexpected Affair","description":"An Unexpected Affair After her divorce, Eleanor Mace decides to begin a new life running a quirky bookshop in a quiet corner of Devon. She adores her seaside home, and her bookshop - The Reading Room - is a hit, and yet Eleanor is still unsettled ...Her grown-up twins don't need her, her recent divorce has left her at a loose end, and her subsequent move from London, in search of something new has led her to...pretty much the same old life but with sea air. So Eleanor goes online and rediscovers an old flame. Impetuous and impulsive, but with her sister for protection, Eleanor sets off to the South of France in search of a man she last saw in her twenties. But will Eleanor find happiness on the Continent or does it lie in rural England? With a cast of friends and relations ranging from an ex-policeman (now woman), a go-for-it sister, and love interest on both sides of the Channel, this gently humorous story is both entertaining and wry. A Summer of Surprises The story continues two years after the end of An Unexpected Affair. Eleanor and Daniel have been dating for nearly two years and there are plans afoot to celebrate their unofficial anniversary.Everything is rosy until Freya, Daniel's ex-wife, suddenly gets in touch to announce that she is on her way from London to see him - and to meet a top-secret client who has extravagant plans. Meanwhile, rumours are circulating of a theme park about to be built in Combemouth that will threaten the beauty of the Devon coast - and business at Eleanor's bookshop. Things take a turn for the worst when Eleanor discovers that architect Freya and the new development are closely connected. Furious when it seems that Daniel has sided with his ex-wife, Eleanor decides to take a stand and rallies the whole town to protest against the plans. The story comes to a happy conclusion, but not before a trip to Spain and a surprising discovery that launches Eleanor into the spotlight.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49539267363089,"sku":"GOR008833478","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49607084245265,"sku":"GOR008965029","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49736238235921,"sku":"NGR9781849344432","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1849344434.jpg?v=1750963249"},{"product_id":"philospher-s-tale-book-jan-ellis-9781849230926","title":"The Philospher's Tale","description":"At forty-something, loveless and stuck in a job he hates, Tom spends most of his time drowning his sorrows - if not quite himself - in the finest malt whisky very little money can buy. He's almost beyond redemption when along comes Susannah. She's clever and attractive and fancies Tom almost as much as he fancies her. He can scarcely believe his luck and is seriously starting to enjoy himself, when along comes Amy. She's equally clever and equally attractive but naturally, since she's only fourteen, she's not interested in him. At least, not in that way...But Amy isn't quite what she seems and it isn't long before disaster strikes, threatening all Tom's new-found happiness. He has some difficult choices to make but, in the end, it seems he's got himself in so deep, it'll take nothing short of a miracle to save him.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49629705175313,"sku":"GOR012737504","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1849230927.jpg?v=1750725381"},{"product_id":"a-summer-of-surprises-and-an-unexpected-affair-rare-book-jan-ellis-1729787921dpb","title":"A Summer of Surprises and an Unexpected Affair","description":"2017.
