A Summer Fling

When dynamic Christie blows in like a warm wind to take over their department, five very different women find themselves thrown together at work. But none could have predicted the fierce bond of friendship that her leadership would inspire . . .Anna, 39, is reeling from the loss of her fiancé who ran off with a younger woman leaving her pride in tatters. Can she ever learn to trust again? Then there's Grace, in her fifties, trapped in a loveless marriage with a man she married because she fell for his motherless brood. Grace worries that Dawn is about to make the same mistake. Orphaned as a teenager, engaged to love-rat Calum, is 33-year-old Dawn more interested in the security that comes with his tight-knit, boisterous family?At 28, Raychel would seem to be the happiest, with a loving husband, Ben, and their cosy nest for two. But what dark secrets are lurking behind this perfect facade, that make sweet, pretty Raychel so unwilling to open up?Under Christie's kindly hand, the girls know they have some difficult choices to make. Indeed, none of them quite realised how much they needed the sense of fun, laughter, and loyalty that abounds when five women become friends.Praise for Milly Johnson'Warm, optimistic and romantic' Katie FfordeBiographie de l'auteurFive-foot-tall Milly Johnson is a half Barnsley, half Glaswegian writer of greetings cards, novels and shopping lists featuring gin and buns.
