Cherry Pie Island

From the top 10 best-selling author of The Summerhouse by the Sea Welcome to Jenny Oliver's brand new Cherry Pie Island series! Home, Sweet Home...? There's nowhere more deliciously welcoming... When Annie White steps back onto Cherry Pie Island, it's safe to say her newly inherited Dandelion Café has seen better days! And while her childhood home on the Thames-side island idyll is exactly the same retreat from the urban bustle of London she remembers, Annie's not convinced that Owner of The Dandelion Cafe is a title she'll be keeping for long. Not that she can bear the idea of letting her dedicated, if endearingly disorganized staff lose their jobs. Plus café life does also have the added bonus of working a stone's throw away from millionaire Matt and his disarmingly charming smile! One (shoestring budget) café makeover, a few delightful additions to the somewhat retro menu and a lot of cherry pie tastings later, The Dandelion Café is ready for its grand reopening! But once she's brought the dilapidated old café back to life, Annie finds herself wishing her stay on the island was just a bit longer. She always intended to go back to the big city...but could island living finally have lured her back home for good? Perfect for fans of Lucy Diamond, Sophie Kinsella and Cathy Bramley.

If you were to ask Holly Somers how life is going at the moment she wouldn't have a clue how to answer you... On the one hand she's embarking on a retro-fabulous road trip in her vintage ice cream van all the way from Cherry Pie Island to the South of France. Plus, she's sharing the journey with Wilf Hunter-Brown (quite possibly the most attractive man she's ever met!) On the other? Well, apart from being unsure as to whether the rickety old ice cream van will actually make it to the Riviera, she and Wilf had a one-night fling a few weeks ago. Even worse, it seems there's an unexpected little consequence of their impromptu night together. Life on Cherry Pie Island definitely hasn't equipped Holly with knowledge of the best way to tell a super-rich entrepreneur with a womanising reputation that he's about to become a Dad! Despite the heat of the Provencal sunshine you'd think you'd be able to keep cool inside an ice cream van - but the temperature is definitely rising. And with time running out to tell Wilf the truth, Holly's dream roadtrip is fast becoming a nightmare on wheels! There's no denying that this will be a journey to remember. When it comes to sundaes, Holly has always been partial to the more traditional flavours - but something's telling her that this could be the time to take a chance and try something new.

Socialite Emily Hunter-Brown has just bought the old manor house on Cherry Pie Island - and her friends think she's gone mad! Still, they should have known that wild-child Emily will try anything once...even settling down! But when Emily discovers she has an allotment to take care of as well as the crumbling mansion, she's unexpectedly flummoxed! It's all very well knowing that you have to swap your high heels for Hunter wellies....but it's quite another actually getting dirt underneath her Chanel Rouge Noir polished nails? And what is she supposed to do with her bumper crop of courgettes anyway?!

One Summer Night at the Ritz is the enchanting fourth story in Jenny Oliver's delicious Cherry Pie Island series. For Jane Williams, balmy August evenings are usually spent swimming in the river or lounging on her house boat on Cherry Pie Island. But, this summer, a set of tragic wartime diaries has changed all that. Now, Jane's heading for an appointment with Will Blackwell, one of the world's most infamous hoteliers, in the heart of London's West End. And, standing under the spectacular twinkling lights of The Ritz, it's safe to say she's feeling a tiny bit out of her depth... But Jane's about to discover that, sometimes, the bravest steps can lead to the most magical summer nights!

From the top 10 best-selling author of The Summerhouse by the Sea Hannah's holidays are normally spent nibbling chocolate coins with her daughter and praying she's not too old for a stocking on Christmas morning. But this year, she's been offered the dressmaker's job of a lifetime: creating a one-of-a-kind a gown for her friend Annie's Christmas wedding on the picture-perfect Cherry Pie Island. Many mince pies and one hot-pink organza dress later, Hannah is set to snuggle back into her old routine...until she discovers that there are three more weddings to come - and not a dress in sight! Four themes, four brides and four parties spent avoiding chef Harry Fontaine, whose cynicism is as much a wedding day guarantee as confetti and cake. Hannah has her work cut out for her! Yet, with a sprinkling of snowflakes and Christmas magic, it could be that this is the year when miracles really do happen...if Hannah will let them.
