Now, Kate’s daughters deliver another bombshell.
After her husband’s business fails and he leaves her for another woman, Kate has managed to rebuild her life in Hope Valley and is happy with her lot — until her daughters come to visit and tell her that her husband did not, as he told Tess, lose all his money when his business collapsed.
Kate doesn’t care. She has rebuilt her life and the last thing she wants is to invite stress by opening old wounds. Her daughters, however, have other ideas — especially her difficult eldest daughter Amy, who is determined to fight her father and get the money that she sees as rightfully hers.
Just when Kate thinks that things can’t get any worse, she meets and is instantly attracted to Tolly Nelson, the son of her elderly neighbor Grace. He’s the first man she’s met for a long time who sets her pulse racing…but when her problems with her ex-husband escalate, her relationship with Tolly seems doomed.
Christmas is coming, and all Kate wants is a quiet life — but it seems that this is a gift that will cost her dearly!
Tess Brennan lives on the East Coast of Australia with her husband, and they both enjoy exploring their local area. Walking, swimming, lolling about in the sun, socializing with friends… it’s a good life!
There’s something else that Tess loves to do (now this won’t surprise you at all!) and that is to read stories about people who have loved and lost, and loved again... or people who fight against the odds to find the love of a lifetime! Reading stories like this led Tess to write her own stories about the path to love and happiness. (Yes, she’s a sucker for happy endings!)
She is confident that the Hope Valley Romance series is just the beginning. After all, there are so many wonderful stories to tell!
