A caring mother struggles against the prejudices of the 1950s, with tragic consequences... Second Chance of Sunshine is a captivating tale of a woman gaining her independence, in a poignant London saga from much-loved author Pam Evans. Perfect for fans of Sheila Newberry and Cathy Sharp. 'Evans has a real feel for the people and places of the South East. In this colourful picture of life in post-war London there is a strong sense of community and a finely drawn illustration of the tension caused by the changing role of women in society... Warm, entertaining and peopled with lovable characters' - Lancashire Evening Post It's 1956, and while many women are doing jobs they'd never dreamed of before the war, Molly Hawkins is chained firmly to the kitchen sink. Her husband Brian believes his wife's place is in the home, but is too idle to seek regular employment for himself. Molly worries that her six-year-old daughter Rosa is going without, but is willing to sacrifice luxuries - and her own happiness - for her little girl to have a dad. Then a family friend dies suddenly, leaving Molly a share in a successful pottery business. To Brian's horror, it's on condition that Molly takes a job at the pottery. Seizing the chance to bring in much needed income, Molly accepts the position, and soon gains strength from her new-found independence. It's a strength she will need to take her through the tragedy that lies ahead... What readers are saying about Second Chance of Sunshine: 'I have read many Pamela Evans novels and have always thoroughly enjoyed them - these are the sort of novels that should be turned into Sunday afternoon watching, they are easy, they hold the reader and you can guarantee that all will come right in the end despite the ups and downs along the way' 'Thoroughly enjoyed this book. It makes for pleasurable, laidback, and captivating reading'

I've made mistakes. Some of those mistakes have ruined lives, including my own. Because of this, my past is something I have kept to myself, so when I found a woman who also wanted her past to remain hidden, it felt like the universe was pushing us together. It turns out the universe had nothing to do with that. If a person's past doesn't exist, the present may not unravel the way it should. I found out the hard way, when I learned that my wife is not who I thought she was...living with a past I should know about. Her continuous self-destructive behaviors let me know she clearly has a plan-possibly one I never should have been a part of. I keep trying to save her, but she's making it hard. Now, both of our pasts have simultaneously rolled into the spotlight-colliding head-on, and causing the present to come crashing down on top of us. I learned that since our pasts are part of who we are, they will always be the foundation of our present and our future. The question I have is, will either of us walk away in one piece?

Not the frigid temps or impending blizzard, the bickering and gossip that swirls around our picturesque town, or even breaking my favorite ornament. Nothing… Except Luke Crisp. My grumpy ex-boyfriend seems set on making my stay unbearable. Starting the moment I step foot on his family’s Christmas tree farm. The growly lumberjack who once held my heart now grates on my last nerve. He hates this time of year and everything that comes with it. And he doesn’t seem very happy to see me, either. Those lips that once kissed mine now twist in a permanent scowl. His beautiful green eyes I used to get lost in only match his grinchy attitude. But something simmers just beneath his cool gaze. A heat that still ignites a fire deep inside me. So, when the snowstorm hits and we’re forced to hunker down and ride it out together, it makes for one very grumpy lumberjack Christmas. If you love spicy holiday romances with growly lumberjacks and feisty heroines, grab this standalone, small-town contemporary romance that gives you all the grumpy/sunshine, forced proximity, second chance, angsty, steamy and spicy Christmas vibes you can handle!

As editor-in-chief of New York’s leading fashion magazine, Fiona Monaghan was utterly content with her life, jetting back and forth between her stylish Manhattan and Europe—until the sweltering June day John Anderson strolled into her office. A widower with two daughters, John was as conservative as Fiona was freewheeling, both amused and appalled by her world of high-strung designers, anorexic models, Fendi-stuffed closets, and Sir Winston, her snoring bulldog. But after Fiona impulsively invited John to the Paris couture shows, somewhere between the magic of the runway and the stroll along the Seine, she let him into her heart. And within weeks of their return to New York, John was making friends with Sir Winston—and Fiona was making room in her closets. It didn’t take long for the dominoes to start falling. First, John introduced Fiona to his hostile daughters and their bloodthirsty Pekingese and snarling housekeeper. Then, after a disastrous dinner party with John’s biggest client, Fiona and John’s relationship began to unravel with alarming speed. What happens next will set Fiona on a journey filled with pain, revelation, and awakening. When she risks everything and returns to Paris alone, an extraordinary series of events begins to unfold. And as the snow falls on the city of light, the curtain will rise on a second act Fiona never saw coming. In a dazzling tale of modern misadventures and career-crossed relationships, Danielle Steel captures the heady magic of instant attraction, the challenges of change—and the hope that comes when we dare to do it all over again.
