Glorious Summer

Summer at Harbour View House – the third book in CP Ward's Glorious Summer series. After losing her flat to a fire, thirty-something and single Natasha Bright's fortunes appear to be on the rise when a friend asks her to look after a beachside summerhouse in the quaint Cornish village of Penkoe for a few weeks. Together with Hannah Lucas, her bubbly and equally-homeless neighbour, Natasha sets off for her Cornish paradise. However, the promised glass palace turns out to be … well, less so, it rains endlessly, the village is a nightmare of oddball locals, and the man next-door is a chauvinist pig. Only as Natasha and Hannah begin to delve deeper, meeting handsome locals Davey and Ben, and uncovering a years-old grudge which threatens the village's very existence, do they start to understand just what it is they have found, and how Penkoe just might be a paradise after all… From the much-loved author of Christmas at the Marshmallow Café, Summer at Blue Sands Cove, and Autumn in Sycamore Park, comes this third volume in CP Ward's Glorious Summer series, full of humour, excitement, and just a little romance.

Life isn't going well for forty-something Josie Roberts. Her marriage has dissolved, and the narcissistic songwriter ex-husband who took everything just happens to be the current darling of the music industry with a nationwide viral hit. Without a job and with her home on the market to pay for legal expenses, she lets her best friend Hilda convince her to make a move to the south Cornwall coast. There, Josie struggles to find her feet, with her beloved daughter dropping out of medical school, and then the remnants of a reclusive cult sabotaging her attempts to revive a long-abandoned campsite. But slowly, as Josie starts to find the strength within herself to overcome her problems, life begins to improve. There are new friends, and possibly even a new man on the glittery horizon, as well as mysteries to be revealed which will turn her life on its head. Summer in Sunset Harbour is another delightful romantic comedy from CP Ward, author of Christmas at the Marshmallow Café and Autumn in Sycamore Park.

The second book in the Glorious Summer series from CP Ward, author of the Delightful Christmas series. When worryingly-close-to-forty Jane Bennett wins a tent in an employee of the month competition, her best friend Annabel suggests they take the unremarkable prize and head for the Cornish countryside. Jane, unmarried, unheralded, and-in her own eyes at least-unimportant, can come up with no decent excuse. After a series of mishaps, the two women find themselves at the charming but failing Tall Trees Lake Camping and Caravan Park, where the family-owned park's errant son, Dean Stinton, has just returned from overseas, into the middle of a battle for the park's survival against its predatory neighbour, Tall Trees Premier, run by his jilted ex-lover, Kelly Coldwinter. As the battle between the two camping parks heats up, Jane, suffering from a crisis of identity while fighting off a growing attraction to Dean, finds herself caught in the middle. Full of the humour and heartwarming joy that CP Ward's fans have come to know and love, Summer at Tall Trees Lake will having you pining for the smell of barbeques, glorious sunsets, and the possibility of romance beneath the warm summer sun.
