GIVEAWAY: 3 copies of Country Secrets – THE COTSWOLDS

13th August 2023

We are delighted to have 3 copies of Country Secrets by Fiona Walker in our latest giveaway. A romcom set in The Cotswolds. UK only.

3 copies of Country Secrets

Can you ever have a second chance at first love?

When Ronnie Percy’s gorgeous on-off lover Blair is forced to deep-freeze their affair for the sake of his sick wife, she’s delighted to be distracted by charismatic neighbour, Kit Donne, and – more surprisingly – finds herself drawn into a fight for the future of the village. But then the return of someone from her distant past threatens to expose long-buried secrets.

Meanwhile daughter Pax – already besieged by her controlling estranged husband – has started to suspect that new beau ‘the horsemaker’ Luca still loves somebody else. The last shoulder on earth she should cry on is Bay Austen’s, but his marriage is crumbling and he’s lost none of his dangerous charm. Moreover, Bay knows the way to her heart is through her horses…

Old friendships, new loves, jealousies, gossip and beautiful horses – these are the classic ingredients for Fiona Walker’s latest gripping, sexy novel, set in the Cotswold village of Compton Magna and laced with her trademark humour.

    Laurie Lee’s – Cider with Rosie. I love this autobiographical book which recalls a very different way of life, long gone.
