A French Affair

Escape to France for a summer of new beginnings, second chances and an unexpected romance …

Sisters Gina and Sally Makepiece couldn’t be more different. Sally is a stay at home mum to twins while Gina is a busy career woman with little time for anything else.

Their two lives are about to change when they discover their eccentric Aunt Rainey has left them her beloved stall in the French House – an antiques centre nestled in a sprawling stately building in the heart of the English countryside.

As Gina and Sally work together to transform the business, they find themselves growing closer than ever. Their biggest challenge is winning over the brooding but gorgeous owner, Matthew Ballinger.

But romance is in the air and a beautiful, sunshine filled trip to France changes everything for Gina and Matthew . . .

A French Affair is a charming romance novel about finding love when you least expect it. The perfect read for fans of Susan Mallery, Mary Kay Andrews and Debbie Macomber.
