She does, but whether the rugby player or Jon is the father is not known. She never told Jon about the one night stand and he accepted without question that he was the father of the child – a boy, William, now aged 6. Life has been good and her secret remains safe, but all that is about to change, starting the day Wendy comes face to face with the guy she had the affair with and he asks, Hey, don’t I know you from somewhere?’

It's In The Cards - Pamela Fudge

Ellen Carson was still heart whole and fancy-free at forty – and that was just the way she liked it. Growing up in a crowded family home had given her a yearning for the quiet life, and watching her older siblings make a mess of their relationships had left her grimly determined to remain single. Her family had other ideas and hopes were raised when they discovered that not one, but two men from Ellen’s past arrived in town. Surely one of them must be right for Ellen.

Just as she was coming round to the idea that her family might have been right about her changing her mind when she met ‘the one,’ they in turn confided in her that she was the one who had the right idea after all. Is Ellen to blame when relationships start to fail? And what is she going to do about it?

The arrangement worked perfectly for years but they and their children had always known the arrangement would come to an end and they would go their separate ways when the last child left home. However, it soon becomes apparent that breaking up is hard to do – even when your relationship is not what it seems.

Turn Back Time - Pamela Fudge

It seemed that it could.

Widowed at 45, Denise has come to the end of that first year alone and survived. She realises it’s time to get back out into the world and live her life. However, life and particularly her own family, it seems, might have other ideas as first her mother and then her daughter move into a house that is suddenly bursting at the seams.

A battle of wills ensues, but it is a battle that Denise is determined to win by fair means or foul, because only when she has sorted everyone else’s lives out can she finally get on with her own.

Romance doesn’t figure anywhere in her calculations, but Denise, of all people, should know that life doesn’t always go according to plan.
