Amanda Wells made a big mistake in her first marriage. She fell for charm and charisma - but what she got in Giles was selfishness and faithlessness. When he left her for a younger woman, Amanda swore she'd never make the same mistake again. Her next attempt at a relationship would be with a thoughtful, caring kind of man. The type who would be good husband material. So, when she backs into a shiny new BMW sports car belonging to the charming Angus Day in Tesco's car park, she not only blames him for the accident but distrusts him on principle. Worse than that, she discovers the reason Angus can afford his BMW is that he's a property developer. All the same, there's something about him and she very nearly succumbs one New Year's Eve when the moon is full and the bottle's empty - but fortunately at this point she meets Luke. Luke is everything Angus isn't - honourable, unselfish, nice to old ladies and he can even dance a sexy tango. But is Luke as honourable as he seems.and is Angus as dishonourable?.

Sunshine, warmth, lemon blossom ...Springtime in glorious Southern Italy can go to your head. Especially if you are escaping an overbearing husband, the embarrassingly public loss of your company, an interfering mother who still tries to run your life or the pain of a husband's affair with a girl young enough to be his daughter. As the Italian sun ripens the lemons in the groves that tumble down the hillsides and the Mediterranean dazzles beneath them, assertive Angela, extrovert Sylvie, unconfident Claire and mousy Monica find burgeoning friendship and begin to blossom in quite unexpected ways. Packed with memorable characters - from the acid-tongued Grand Old Man of Modern Art who lives next door - to the aspiring gigolo who thinks nothing of a forty year age gap, Maeve Haran's new novel is a witty and entertaining reminder of why going a little mad in the sun can sometimes be exactly what you need.
