Jo Carnegie

Although the countryside town of Beeversham looks picture-perfect, nothing is quite as it seems. Behind closed doors, three women are struggling to lead the lives they want. Vanessa seems like she simply must have it all - she's beautiful, rich and married to gorgeous actor, Conrad. But beneath the glitz, she is asking herself whether this really is the life she wants to lead - when she has so much, why does she feel so empty? Meanwhile, Fleur is trying desperately to save the farm that her family have lived on for hundreds of years, when playboy Beau makes her an offer she can't refuse. And Catherine has given up the high-flying career she thought she always wanted, and is trying to build a wonderful new life in the country. But finding rural bliss is harder than it looks. Hopes and dreams, loves and losses - and lots and lots of secrets - let Jo Carnegie take you behind the scenes of one very special town.

Three women know what they want. Three men are about to royally mess things up. Kizzy wants to race at the Olympics,
and she'll do whatever it takes. But a tall, dark stranger wasn't part of the plan. Caro's perfect family life is unshakeable, until
her vile ex-husband moves back with his cool-as-ice girlfriend. Calypso had higher hopes for country living than organizing eighty-
year-olds' birthday parties. Is it time to get out? Life is full of surprises. But what would it take to give up on a life-long dream?

working with quite possibly the sexiest man she has ever met. But what dangerous secrets lurk behind those twinkling blue eyes of his? New lives, new temptations. Have both girls bitten off more than they can chew?

Meanwhile, when a part of their beloved village comes under threat from a villainous property developer and his bulldozer, the community is united by a different kind of passion.
