Book excerpt: Meet Rona Parish, a talented biographer who has a skill for writing about the past and encountering danger along the way, and her adorable golden retriever, Gus. When Rona is asked to write a biography on the missing enigmatic artist, Elspeth Wilding, she finds there are as many unanswered questions as unfinished portraits. Rona Parish needs a break from journalism - every article she has written for Chiltern Life magazine has uncovered murder and mayhem! Luckily her editor has the perfect subject for her to write a new biography on: the life and disappearance of renowned artist Elspeth Wilding. Famous artist Elspeth Wilding mysteriously disappeared eighteen months ago, and nobody has seen her since . . . Considered one of the most important artists of the twenty-first century, many people have speculated about Elspeth's whereabouts, including her family. Is Elspeth missing, or does she not want to be found? Could her disappearance be linked to the tragic suicide of her closest friend, or has something more sinister happened to her? Rona Parish is determined to uncover the truth. No matter what. Can Rona solve the mystery of the elusive artist, or is she heading for own brush with danger? A page-turning cosy mystery set in the fictional English market town of Marsborough in the stunning Chiltern Hills. Fans of M.C. Beaton, Richard Osman, Reverend Richard Coles, G.M. Malliet, Margery Allingham, Betty Rowlands and Faith Martin will love this series. READERS ADORE RONA PARISH: "Anthea Fraser At Her Best" "Beautifully written . . .

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author Susan Wittig Albert transports readers to the summer of 1934, when a sensational murder shakes up the small Southern town of Darling, Alabama—and pulls in the ladies of the Darling Dahlias’ garden club, who never let the grass grow under their feet when there’s a mystery to solve… The eleven o’clock lady has always been one of garden club president Liz Lacy’s favorite spring wildflowers. The plant is so named because the white blossoms don’t open until the sun shines directly on them and wakes them up. But another Eleven O’Clock Lady is never going to wake up again. Rona Jean Hancock—a telephone switchboard operator who earned her nickname because her shift ended at eleven, when her nightlife was just beginning—has been found strangled with her own silk stocking in a very unladylike position. Gossip sprouts like weeds in a small town, and Rona Jean’s somewhat wild reputation is the topic of much speculation regarding who might have killed her. As the Darling Dahlias begin to sort through Rona Jean’s private affairs, it appears there may be a connection to some skullduggery at the local Civilian Conservation Corps camp. Working at the camp, garden club vice president Ophelia Snow digs around to expose the truth…before a killer pulls up stakes and gets away with murder. Includes Southern-style Depression-era Recipes

Books 1-4 of the Italian Summer Series are now in one boxed set: It Takes Two All That Glitters Fool's Gold Roman Encounter It Takes Two Rona Fernández's visits to the charming Gioberti's restaurant had raised some eyebrows but nobody was overly suspicious of why she would go alone each evening. Not even her husband. Besides, a harmless flirtation every now and then isn't such a bad thing. As long it stays that way. All That Glitters A chance encounter at a luxury hotel leads to a sizzling romance between unlucky-in-love Andrea Brunelli and the gorgeous Riley James. But her nights of passion lead to more than she had bargained for and Andrea soon discovers that there is a price to pay. Is her passionate new romance all that it is set up to be or is there more to it than meets the eye? Fool's Gold Leo Carrera takes a chance when he invests in Andrea Brunelli's business. It seems to be a wise decision but falling for her isn't, especially when the feelings aren't mutual and she seems to attract every loser in sight. But he's a patient man and he's willing to wait. Andrea knows that having Leo by her side has been the biggest help, especially during the last few rocky months. He's been a tower of strength, her steady rock, her go-to guy. The only problem is that sometimes, the way he looks at her makes her skin tingle, sets her heartrate rocketing and her pulse racing. But he's so calm and laid back, he barely realizes the effect he's having on her. So when another business associate takes an interest in her, what's a girl to do? Roman Encounter Gina Morosini has spent her life pleasing others and putting her own dreams and wishes on hold. People gravitate towards her with their own problems, never stopping to wonder what might be going on in her life. When the pressure intensifies and her personal life falls apart, a week in Rome provides the escape she desperately needs. Christian Russo is a stud. Over-confident and self-serving, he's only interested in doing what's best for him. And right now, working for a training company in Rome isn't it. He can do better, and he knows it. But even a player like Russo needs help sometimes, especially when his résumé needs to sparkle. Asking the quiet mouse of a woman for help works out well for him and leads Gina and Christian on a journey that neither of them expected. womens fiction romance,family sagas series,inspirational romance series,fiction books for women,womens fiction beach reads, romance books set in italy,genre fiction family sagas and romance

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The realities of the fashion industry exposed in this devastating account of the life of a successful supermodel. 'A unique and honest perspective on the fashion industry... Cameron doesn’t just hold the door open for more voices from within fashion, she makes a compelling argument as to why they must be heard.' CHRISTY TURLINGTON BURNS Scouted by a modelling agent when she was sixteen years old, Cameron Russell approached her job with scepticism. She was a precocious and serious student with her sights set on college — not the runway. But modelling seemed to offer young women like her access to wealth, fame, and influence. Besides, as she was often reminded, there were 'a million girls in line' to replace her. A ferocious, visceral memoir, How to Make Herself Agreeable to Everyone chronicles how Russell learned to navigate the dizzying space between physical appearance and interiority, and making money in an often-exploitative system. *** 'A book of real power.' STYLIST, Best Non-Fiction Books of 2024 'Russell’s voice is steady and compelling throughout, offering young women, especially, a thoughtful and powerful way through.' PEGGY ORENSTEIN, author of Girls & Sex 'Compelling, smart and insightful.' VENETIA LA MANNA, host of All The Small Things 'Unforgettable... Fiercely intellectual, deeply vulnerable, and unapologetically honest, Russell reads through the layers of gender, race, capital, and exploitation in the fashion industry.' IMANI PERRY, author of South to America

Book excerpt: What if everything you've been brought up to believe was a lie? Whistledown Woman is the moving story of a beautiful girl growing up unaware of her true inheritance, from bestselling author Josephine Cox. Perfect for fans of Kitty Neale and Lindsey Hutchinson. On a moonlit night in 1898, Kathleen Wyman lies in labour at Bessington Hall. Her husband, Edward, is sure that she has been unfaithful to him. In his blind, jealous rage he later gives away the baby to gypsy Rona Parrish, summoned to help with the delivery. Kathleen, frenzied with grief, is soon after locked away in an asylum. Rejected by her father, the little girl begins her new life with only a valuable brooch pinned to her shawl as a clue to her true origins. Named after Rona's own mother, the lovely raven-haired Starlena grows up in ignorance of her true parentage and vast inheritance, believing her birthplace to be the beautiful Whistledown Valley. And Rona, always afraid, stays watchful over the years for any sign that someone might track Starlena down - someone who wishes her harm... What readers are saying about Whistledown Woman: 'A brilliant novel by Josephine Cox. Gripping and romantic combined with subterfuge. A very unusual storyline makes this a different story' 'Couldn't put this book down, had everything: romance, sadness, suspense' 'I loved the story, lots of twists and turns - such a realistic, descriptive style which transported me into the story'
