The Wedding Party

The Wedding Party

Monique and Geoff are old enough to know better but with stars in their eyes, they’ve decided to tie the knot – with help (hindrance?) from Geoff’s grown-up daughter, his ex-wife, a distracted vicar and a wedding planner with L-plates.

Will the couple make it down the aisle? And will the guests end up better or worse?

‘An absorbing, feel-good novel – I really enjoyed it.’ Penny Vincenzi

The Supper Club

The Supper Club

A travelling supper party - held in a different house every month - seems like the perfect way for village neighbours to socialize. Lucy wants to introduce new fiance Mike to her neighbours. And getting out in the evening might help her friend Chrissie to focus on something other than that baby. Maybe she can even do a little matchmaking for her sister Jenny. And it's the perfect excuse to meet the fashion model who's stolen her friend Maggie's husband.

Of course, the supper parties don't quite work out the way Lucy meant them to . . .
