About this ebook
James a sombre widower in his mid thirties was seemingly content with his life running the "Chartrand" family estate in Yorkshire. And also managing his own successful company. Now he took on a new challenge~writing a book.
Lucy in her twenties, younger sister of Melissa, who was married to Richard, James younger brother. Lucy being temporarily unemployed lived with Melissa and Richard at their house in London, helping to care for their three young children.
Lucy met James at her sisters wedding and from the moment,on that fateful day five years ago, knew she had met the man she wanted to marry. Her regret~her love remained a secret, and from a distance.
James saw Lucy as a nuisance of a girl. On them exchanging one kiss under the mistletoe last Christmas~for James, it had been been a disaster.
James seeing in Lucy's eyes a willingness to take what he would give.
He had nothing to give!
Lucy was remembering their kiss that last Christmas in Moscow, as she journeyed by train with Melissa, and family from London. Lucy was so looking forward to seeing James again, and enjoying a family Christmas with him in Yorshire at his home "Chartrand House". Only for the young family to be torn apart when their train crashed.
James as their guardian took into his care three orphaned children, and Lucy, now seriously injured and homeless.
In a matter of days as Lucy lay in hospital James made her an offer she couldn't refuse!
Marriage!
Why marriage? James, could once she had recovered have employed her as nanny, a role she would have willingly carried out.
Whilst pitying Lucy, James felt the same pull of attraction as last Christmas when he'd kissed her, found he had no regrets on bulldozing her into marriage
Somewhat doubtful, Lucy challenged James, but eventually agreed. 'Yes I will marry you James.' Knowing she would have her love for James to support her and have him as the husband she had always yearned for.
Joined as man and wife, confident their marriage they looked forward to this new begining. Then Lucy informed James she was having his baby, only to experience deep hurt as James turned his back on what they'd had.
Lucy not a girl to give in, and aching to be in her husband's arms once more found a way through the maize. Showing James they had a loving marriage and happy family life.

Born and brought up in Lancashire, England, in the North West coastal town, Barrow-in-Furness.Married in my early twenties and lived in various parts of Europe, then returned to the UK to live in Bradford, West Yorkshire. For the next eighteen years raised a family and held down a busy career in Human Rescource writing tin the evening and any free weekends a form of relaxation.After thirty eight years of marriage, our children having families of their own; we having five lovely Grandchildren, we then moved to France.Moving on from the previous sentence we celebrated our fiftieth Wedding Anniversary in 2018. Still have our home in a quiet part of Morbihan, Brittany. I continue to enjoy writing Romantic Novels, while my husband gardens, providing fresh produce all year round. Plenty to keep us busy, visits from family and friends, and an active life within the local French community. (The present Pandemic unfortunately has restricted that contact between friends and family ) At this point I must give thanks to a friend Dr Jenny Sullivan, for her encouragement in editing my earlier novels also her continued support as a friend.When needing to take a break from writing my novels go to my sewing room: creating Clothes, quilting, other items for our home. Exercising is a must, in the absence of the Gym and Aqua Gym being open, also walking, not so much hiking these days. Plenty of housework, cooking, making my own bread and seasonal bottling of fruit and vegetables. All of which keep me active physically and mentally.Back to my writing, I want my readers to enjoy my stories as much as I enjoy creating each one. A happy conclusion is a must. Continuing the theme of romance, I chose the present photo for my profile from snaps when attending the wedding of a niece since that was over ten years ago, I will in the near future update the profile photo when I have the time to look through recent snaps.
