A Kiss From A Rose

One kiss can change your life...

If there's one thing Rose MacLean has learned in life it's that if anything can go wrong it will. She has a new career - in partnership with her best friend, Eliza - so it's surely just a matter of time before things start to go awry. With money tight, space in her tiny flat at a premium, and her eldest daughter, Fuchsia, behaving even more strangely than usual, maybe that's all the bad luck she's going to get?

But when her hard-to-please mother becomes the unexpected victim of a crime, Rose has no choice but to take her into her already cramped home, despite their difficult relationship. Reduced to sleeping on the sofa, dealing with her mother's barbed comments, and worrying endlessly about her teenage daughters, Rose is desperately in need of something good to happen.

Flynn Pennington-Rhys is the quiet man of Kearton Bay. He lives alone in a house that's far too big and way too tidy, and works as a GP in the village. Thoughtful, reliable, but a bit of a loner, Flynn is the last person Rose expected to fall for.

But odd things can happen at a wedding, and a single kiss sets them on a path that neither could have predicted. But Flynn has his own issues to deal with, and when events take an unexpected turn, it seems Rose may not be able to rely on him after all.

Will the quiet man come through for her? Will her daughters ever sort themselves out? And will Rose ever get her bedroom back from her mother, or is she destined to spend the rest of her life on the sofa?

A witty contemporary romance set on the glorious North Yorkshire coast.
