The Secret Life of Evie Hamilton
Evie Hamilton has a secret. One she doesn't even know about ...yet. Evie is the wife of successful, handsome husband Ant and mother of high-achieving, accomplished daughter Anna, and her biggest worry in life is whether or not she can fit a manicure in on her way to fetch Anna from clarinet lessons. She doesn't think about much else outside her own, charmed circle. There simply isn't time. But all that is about to change. One sunny Oxford morning a letter - a ticking time-bomb - lands on Evie's immaculate doormat and up ends Evie's comfortable life. Something she could never have anticipated has been waiting in the wings to sabotage everything she holds dear, and it's not going away. She will have to reappraise everything in her carefully arranged universe. But Evie is a fighter and she will fight for what she loves. And in the process, find there is more to her than she thought, and more to her life. What will remain? What will change for ever? And can a woman's entire world really be as fragile as her best china?

 A Crowded Marriage
There are already three people in Imogen Cameron's marriage - herself, her husband, Alex, and their son, Rufus - and that's just the way she likes it. But then the Camerons are forced to accept an offer from Eleanor Latimer of a rent-free cottage on her estate. Ordinarily, such an offer is not to be sniffed at but as Eleanor happens to be Alex's beautiful, rich and frankly flirtatious ex, Imogen is very sniffy indeed. And with good reason. Once installed in Shepherd's Cottage, Imogen's life is suddenly full to bursting with surly locals, psychotic chickens, mountains of manure, visits from the infuriatingly bossy vet, and of course Eleanor; who seems to be permanently at Alex's side. As far as Imogen's concerned, two's a marriage, three's a family and this! Well, this is just silly, someone's going to have to go. The question is who?

 The Real Thing
'What do you think I am, Laura? Some bored Putney housewife with seven-year itch who's just ripe for bumping into her glamorous ex-boyfriend on holiday, ditching her nice, safe, comfortable husband and embarking on a steamy affair with him? This isn't one of your Aga sagas, you know, this is me, Tessa Hamilton, happily married mother of two, and apart from anything else I went out with him years ago!' Everyone's got one -- an old boyfriend with whom they never fell out of love, they simply parted because the time wasn't right. And for thirty-year-old Tessa Hamilton it's Patrick Cameron, the gorgeous, moody, rebellious boy she met at seventeen; the boy her vicar father thoroughly disapproved of; the boy who had left her to go to Italy to paint. And now he's back.

 The Old Girl Network
Dreamy, scatty and impossibly romantic, Polly McLaren is a secretary in an advertising agency, but the day a stranger on a train catches her eye, her life changes for ever. This American Romeo, who's recognised her old school scarf, begs Polly to help him find his missing Juliet. Over an intoxicating dinner at the Savoy, Polly agrees to play Cupid -- St Gertrude's girls must, after all, stick together -- and her investigations begin. The last thing she needs now is trouble from the men in her life...like Henry Lloyd Roberts -- Polly's madly attractive but infuriatingly elusive boyfriend. It's he who goads her into turning detective -- on the grounds that it might give her something to do for a change. Not to mention distract her from his own lustful pursuits...and Nick Penhalligan -- Polly's rude, arrogant and ridiculously demanding boss, who's not best pleased that her mind is everywhere but on her job. But even he gets entangled when the old-girl network turns into a spider's web of complications, deceit, and finally, love.

 Going to Far
'You've gone all fat and complacent because you've got your man, haven't you?' There are things only your best friend can tell you, but this outrageous suggestion is met with indignation from Polly Penhalligan, who is recently married, trying for a baby and blissfully happy in her beautiful manor farmhouse in Cornwall. At least she was, until Pippa's unfortunate remark forces her to realise that her idyllic life of gorging on chocolate biscuits, counting her seemingly endless blessings and not getting dressed until lunchtime could be having a few unwelcome side-effects. So Polly decides to razz things up a bit - and agrees to allow her home to be used as a location for a commercial. But even before the cameras are set up and the stars released from their kennels, Polly's life and marriage have been turned upside down. This time, it seems, she's gone too far...
