“Book Descriptions: Mia Ward is astonished to learn she’ll inherit her great-aunt Matilda’s thatched cottage in the tiny seaside village of Little Pondale – especially as Mia didn’t know she had a great-aunt Matilda. But to inherit, she has to live there for one year. That’s not an appealing prospect for a City-girl like Mia and the fact it backs on to a beach, is not a bonus. Mia has a long-held fear of water having nearly drowned when she was six. But with her best friend, Ella and Ella’s brother, Garrick by her side, they see this as a new beginning and they’re soon embracing village life. By the time Mia’s mum, Lori arrives, Love is in the air. Then an incident means Mia has to face her greatest fear and help arrives from a surprising source. As summer ends, great-aunt Matilda remains an enigma, but one thing is clear – someone doesn’t want Mia to stay in Little Pondale and when secrets come to light, Mia wonders who to trust. Until a fortune-teller’s predictions give Mia other concerns. Is she about to lose the man she’s sure she loves?***Mia’s story continues in the next book The Cottage on Lily Pond Lane Autumn leaves and Trick or treat” DRIVE
