A delightful cast of characters take up residence in this fabulously funny read perfect for fans of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. Jo Docherty and Hattie Contaldo have a vision: a holiday retreat in the heart of England’s Lake District exclusively for guests of a “certain age” wishing to stimulate both mind and body with new creative experiences. With a pitch like that, the newly renovated Best Boomerville Hotel attracts plenty of eccentric clientele. There’s fun-loving Sir Henry Mulberry and his brother, Hugo; Lucinda Brown, an impoverished artist with more ego than talent; Andy Mack, a charming Porsche-driving James Bond lookalike, and Kate Simmons, a woman who made her fortune from an internet dating agency but still hasn’t found “the one” herself. With such an array of colorful individuals there’s bound to be laughs aplenty. But there’ll be plenty of fireworks too, as the residents of Boomerville learn that friendships and romance can tumble out of control when you’re this far over the hill.

A young woman and a brooding widower are connected by a secret past in this suspenseful contemporary romance by the author of The Girl on the Beach. Sad circumstances bring Jenny Simpson back to Borteen Bay, the English coastal village where she grew up. Her father disappeared when she was just a child, and now that her mother has passed, Jenny is on her own. In search of a new beginning, she takes a job cleaning houses—and her first assignment brings her to the home of Carver Rodgers, a handsome yet melancholy widower. Since his wife’s untimely death, Carver has all but given up on life—and it shows in the state of his house. As Jenny and Carver grow closer, she begins to unravel the mystery of his unrelenting grief, while he begins to see new possibilities for the future. But they soon realize they share more in common than the spark between them. They are connected by the secrets buried in Borteen—secrets that link back to a fateful day at a police station many years before. The Truth Lies Buried is the second Borteen Secrets novel from Morton S. Gray, following The Girl on the Beach, which won Choc Lit’s Search for a Star contest.

In this romantic comedy by the author of Maybe Baby, a woman must redeem herself if she hopes to get out of the doghouse. When Lisa Blake’s life in London falls apart, she returns to her hometown rebranding herself as “the purrfect pet sitter”—which may or may not be false advertising as she has a rather unfortunate habit of (temporarily) losing dogs! But being back where she grew up, Lisa can’t escape her past. There’s her estranged best friend Flick who she bumps into in an embarrassing encounter in a local supermarket. And her first love, Nathan Baker, who, considering their history, is sure to be even more surprised by her drunken Facebook friend request than Lisa is. As she becomes involved in the lives of her old friends, Lisa must confront the hurt she has caused, discover the truth about her mysterious leather-clad admirer, and learn how to move forward when the things she wants most are affected by the decisions of her past. Praise for The Purrfect Pet Sitter “All I can say is that this ticked every single box.” —Jo Lambert, author of Summer Moved On
