A Cottage Called Tranquillity

A funny and moving later-in-life romance

After thirty-five years in a loveless marriage, Fran is holding on to one certainty: I. DO. NOT. QUIT.

But when an argument with her husband ends in violence, she needs to consider if her fidelity is worth the cost. Six weeks housesitting in the Yorkshire Dales should give her time for reflection… but she hasn’t counted on the temptations life will throw her way.

The temptation of a cottage called Tranquillity, where she can make her own decisions and pursue her art… and the entirely unexpected temptation of an injured hiker who awakens feelings she’s never had before.

There’s a Saint on one shoulder telling her to honour her marriage vows, and a devil on the other telling her to grab this opportunity with both hands (not to mention grabbing hold of something else, while she’s at it). But is it really the devil talking if he’s telling her the truth?

Will the strength Fran develops through this holiday romance save her marriage… or will the fling turn into something more?

This book is also available in paperback and ebook from all major retailers.
