BREAKING NEWS:
Earlier today, Belinda and Alain, with Chloe, Max and the twins, joined Fern’s daughters and their families, Anouk, and four cousins of Scott, to celebrate the marriage of Fern and Scott in the village Mairie.
Their reception is now underway in the newly refurbished campsite restaurant. Fern insisted it was the only place she wanted to hold it. Fabian, Carole and their family have joined them with other local friends.
Scott is soon going to whisk Fern away on a secret honeymoon, and Anouk and Lady are going to stay in the cabin next to Bernie so that Alain and Belinda can keep an eye on them both. The newly-weds have had their first dance together and are now planning on slipping away and leaving everyone to party, but first Fern is determined to throw her bouquet.
Her aim is good and Belinda catches it easily. Alain leans in and whispers something in her ear. She turns and is heard to say, ‘Maybe next year.’

As always my huge thanks go to the team at Boldwood Books: Caroline my patient astute editor, Nia and Amanda, Jade the copy editor and proofreader, Shirley – you are all ace and thank you for making my books the best they can be.
Thanks to my online writing friends and fellow Boldwood authors, who boost me up and keep me sane when I have a bit of a wobble!
Huge thanks to my husband who has taken over the kitchen while I write and produces the most delicious meals and naughty treats just when I need them.
My heartfelt thanks also go to you, the reader – without you buying and liking my books I wouldn’t be able to do the best job in the world. Receiving an email from someone who has read one of my books and has not only enjoyed it but says it took her away from all her problems for a couple of hours is a wonderful and rewarding feeling.

Chapter 1
Carla was not surprised when Tante Josette didn’t come to the funeral. A nondescript wreath arrived – its white flowers already wilting. The words ‘RIP Amelia. Your loving sister, Josette’ scrawled on a black-edged sympathy card by some unknown hand at the florists.
