A Summerstoke Affair

A TALE OF PASSION, POWER AND DIRTY PARSNIPS

'A light and humorous look at village life.' The Herald

As autumn beckons for the village of Summerstoke, it seems the fireworks party is not the only thing set to go with a bang.

Juliet Peters soap star, publicity junkie and all-round flirt and Isabelle Garnett ex-artist, neglected housewife and mother of two seem to have nothing in common. But when both women try to build new lives in the country, they soon discover that in a small village there are no such things as secrets.

Their husbands seem to be a collision course, too. One, the new MP returned to the rural vale where he grew up; the other the local paper editor ever on the lookout for scandal, and the story that could help him make it big. Add to the mix a wild-child teenager, a reformed rogue, a social-climbing couple who'll stop at nothing, and four old ladies with a manor house and an ear for gossip, and you've got a recipe for trouble.

As the days grow colder, passions only grow warmer. Before the year is out Juliet, Isabelle, and their new neighbours must discover if their hearts really are in the country, and in the right hands. Packed with intrigue, humour and spirit, Caroline Kington's delightful novel serves up an affair to remember.

A Summerstoke Affair is the second in the bestselling Summerstoke Trilogy.
