The Two Lives of Miss Charlotte Merryweather

At age thirty-one, American Charlotte Merryweather has spent ten years in London pursuing personal and professional perfection. Yet her present-day success - heading her own PR company, owning a gorgeous apartment, planning a future with her devoted boyfriend- only heightens the shock of a visit from the past.

"Lottie," Charlotte's twenty-one-year-old self, drives onto the scene at the wheel of a rusty, orange Volkswagen Beetle identical to Charlotte's first UK ride. Charlotte pursues a friendship aimed to bestow upon Lottie a decade of wisdom. But is Lottie the one with the lessons? And can she help Charlotte find herself again?

Me and Mr Darcy

Every girl is looking for their Mr Darcy...

After a string of disastrous relationships, Emily Albright has decided she’s had it with modern-day men.

Forget going out on dates, she’d rather curl up with Pride and Prejudice and step into a time where men were dashing, devoted and honourable, strode across fields in breeches, and weren’t into splitting the bill, two-timing and internet porn.

So when her best friend invites her to Mexico for a week of margaritas and men, Emily decides to book a guided tour of Jane Austen country instead. She knows she’s not going to find her dream man here. The coach tour is full of pensioners, apart from one Mr Spike Hargreaves, a foul-tempered journalist sent to write a piece on why Mr Darcy’s been voted the man most women would love to date.

But then she walks into a room and finds herself face-to-face with Darcy himself.
And every woman’s fantasy suddenly becomes one woman’s reality…

Do You Come Here Often?

Mr Right… or Mr Alright For Now?

Grace never expected to wake up on her thirty-first birthday and realise that Mr Right had turned into Mr Wrong. She never expected to break off her engagement. But then she never expected to go on honeymoon with her ex-boyfriend either.

Set against the backdrop of a late-night radio show hosted by Dr Cupid who promises to sort out the love lives of his listeners, this is a romantic comedy that looks at what it’s like to be single again, about finding love, and how it can all get very, very complicated…
