Postcards From a Stranger
Returning home to Little Fairford, Oliver Hatton finds Jane Kingsley, who he remembers as a gauche, unhappy teenager, astonishing transformed into a confident young woman.
Her uncle’s valuable collection of antique scientific instruments attracts expert study, while Jane herself attracts visiting researcher Jules Legrand. But after a burglary and the death of Jane’s uncle, Oliver Hatton distrusts them both – particularly when they disappear and the instruments left behind are found to be fakes.
Torn between old and new loyalties, Jane goes in search of Jules and the missing collection, following clues that lead her across France. With Oliver at her heels, the trail leads to danger and confusion – who to trust, who to love …?

Curlew Island
Francesca Campbell finds more than she bargained for on the remote Hebridean Island of Cullin when she accompanies American travel writer Tod Harriman, who is on a research trip for his latest tourist guide – and also tracing his family roots.
Cullin Castle is now a hotel, owned by the autocratic Neil McAlister, but, finding it in a state of near chaos, Fran offers to help out until McAlister’s sister returns from the mainland. But for Neil, Fran’s presence brings back painful memories of another southern girl who betrayed him in the past.
Annoyed at McAlister’s antagonism towards Tod and his book, which he believes will bring hordes of unwelcome visitors to despoil Curlew Island, Fran is ready to leave the island for ever. But that’s the last thing Neil wants to happen.
