A feel-good love story about taking chances and finding yourself, set under the endless, twinkling stars of the Wild Atlantic… Way. When Kate O&’Rourke takes up a temporary position as a doctor in Sandy Cove, she hopes spending time in the place where her father was from will help her find herself again. Ever since his passing she has felt lost, but she imagines the calming sound of the sea on the Irish coast will allow her to heal. Kate immediately feels at home in the old surgery, and as she takes walks beside the camellia bushes along Wild Rose Bay and meets every resident in the tiny village, she feels like this is where she&’s meant to be. And when she&’s told about local healer Cormac O&’Shea, she&’s excited to learn even more about the history of the area, and meet the man who every woman in town says is so charming. But Kate quickly realises that she and Cormac have different ideas about how their patients should be treated. Kate is efficient and well-organised, whilst Cormac is wild and spontaneous, passionate about his ancestors&’ reliance on Irish healing. And their differences cause more sparks than Kate is prepared to admit. Just as Kate and Cormac begin to understand one another, Kate&’s old life threatens to call her away from Sandy Cove forever. And she is finally forced to decide what life she wants to lead, and what kind of person she wants to be… A beautiful story about finding love in Ireland, Memories of Wild Rose Bay is a gorgeously uplifting read.

&‘How long does a coma last?&’ I ask. &‘Days, weeks, months?&’ the nurse replies with a shrug, although her eyes… are very kind. &‘But on average?&’ She just smiles, unable to give me an answer. Wendy&’s life can be neatly divided into two: before and after. Before her husband&’s car accident, it was just the two of them. They never took the train at rush hour, and they avoided their noisy neighbour upstairs. Naveem devoted his spare time to vintage train models, and Wendy to re-reading the well-thumbed pages of her favourite books. It didn&’t matter what others thought about their small, quiet life together – they were happy. After the coma, Wendy barely recognises herself. When she&’s not holding the love of her life&’s hand, accompanied by the beep of the life-support machine, who is she? The nurse tells her to talk to Naveem – that he can still hear her – but she doesn&’t have a single thing to say. Suddenly Wendy can&’t bear the silence. She needs something, anything, to talk to Naveem about. Suddenly she&’s losing herself at fairgrounds packed with crowds and candyfloss, she&’s at the airport, waiting for the whoosh of the planes as they take off, making friends with the neighbour she has spent over a decade avoiding. Knowing that every breath her husband takes might be his last, Wendy has no choice but to try to carry on without him. Should she feel guilty about living while his life is on pause? And when – if – he wakes up, will he still love the woman she has become? This poignant, moving and uplifting tale is for anyone who has taken life for granted, neglected to say &‘I love you&’ to their loved ones, or forgotten to find happiness in the little things. Perfect for fans of Josie Silver, Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine and Jojo Moyes. Readers absolutely love Drew Davies:&‘AMAZING… Had me in tears of laughter and in tears of sadness.

He was perfect. Denim-blue eyes, a dazzling smile. And he hadn&’t sent me a picture of his junk. Which is… about as rare, these days, as a Dodo. When Sloane met Myles, everything fell into place. He loved a Martini almost as much as she did, shared her passion for four-cheese pizzas, and made her laugh harder than any episode of Friends. She&’d found The One at last and she could finally delete Tinder, forgetting all those waste-of-space men she&’d never have to date again. But then she finds out that Myles has a secret. A very big one. The fairytale is over. Her heart is blown to smithereens. Drowning her sorrows in Ben & Jerry&’s can only get Sloane so far before she has to decide… Can she learn to love herself more than she loved the love of her life?

Il Mulino. An old crumbling mill, by a winding river, nestled in the Tuscan mountains. An empty home that holds… memories of homemade pasta and Nonna’s stories by the fire, and later: the Nazi invasion, and a family torn apart by a heartbreaking betrayal. Anna is distraught when her beloved mother, Ines, passes away. She inherits a box of papers, handwritten in Italian and yellowed with age, and a tantalising promise that the truth about what happened during the war lies within. The diaries lead Anna to the small village of Rofelle, where she slowly starts to heal as she explores sun-kissed olive groves, and pieces together her mother’s past: happy days spent herding sheep across Tuscan meadows cruelly interrupted when World War Two erupted and the Nazis arrived; fleeing her home to join the Resistenza; and risking everything to protect an injured British soldier who captured her heart. But Anna is no closer to learning the truth: what sent Ines running from her adored homeland? When she meets an elderly Italian gentleman living in a deserted hamlet, who flinches at her mother’s name and refuses to speak English, Anna is sure he knows more about the devastating secret that tore apart her mother’s family. But in this small Tuscan community, some wartime secrets were never meant to be uncovered… A stunning tale, inspired by true events, about how the tragic consequences of war can echo through generations, and how love can guide us through the darkest times.

She ran away through the pine trees when the soldiers came. Staggering into the hiding place, she felt a fluttering… in her belly, like a butterfly grazing its wings, and knew instantly she had something to fight for. Present day: When her fiancé is tragically killed in an accident, twenty-six-year-old Alba is convinced she&’s to blame. Heavy with grief and guilt, she flees to her childhood home – the tiny village of Rofelle, nestled in a remote Tuscan valley. Out hiking one day to fill the long, lonely hours, she finds a mahogany box filled with silverware, hidden near the vine-covered ruins of an isolated house left abandoned after World War II. Could finding the rightful owner ease Alba&’s heartache, and somehow make amends for her own wrongs? In search of answers, Alba meets Massimo, an elderly man who wants to spend his final years pruning his fruit trees, alone with his painful memories. His face turns pale when Alba brings up the war, but she senses that their shared grief connects them. An unlikely friendship grows as little by little Massimo speaks of Lucia: a wild young girl with sparkling eyes who fell in love with an enemy soldier, bravely stole precious Italian treasures back from Nazi occupiers, and whose selfless courage and sacrifice altered the course of the war – and Massimo&’s life. With each visit, Alba gets closer to unravelling the mystery of the silver, and they both start putting their ghosts to rest. But there&’s one part of Lucia&’s story that Massimo might never be able to share – and he&’s running out of time. Has Alba churned up emotions that are too painful to ever confront? Or, will unearthing a wartime secret that has lain buried for generations finally bring Massimo peace? An absolutely beautiful and heartbreaking read that will sweep you away to the rugged mountains and lush olive groves of Tuscany.
