Sometimes the best friends can be found where you least expect them …
Still grieving after the loss of her beloved husband,
Lily Mortimer
is determined to do something with the time she has left.
After the end of her fairytale marriage, thirty-something
Kate
is trying hard to mend her broken heart.
Chloe
, a young woman with the world at her feet, is struggling to know what to do with her life.
When Lily embarks on a new venture in the picturesque town of Somerley, the three women come together to open The Coffee Stop, the most charming café for miles around.
But opening a coffee shop is never as simple as it seems, especially when you add neighbouring competition, local heart throbs and heartbreak to the mix.
When tragedy strikes, can the three women pull together to make the new business fly, or will Lily’s last chance disappear down the drain along with yesterday’s coffee grinds?
Available now from Marcie Steele…
Best friends tell each other everything… right?
Sam
and
Louise
have been best friends since they hung their coats side by side on the first day of primary school. Now in their thirties, they’re still just as close, but life is a little bit more complicated …
Sam
loves running her market stall with Louise by her side. They’re right at the heart of the community – and always one step ahead on local gossip. But Sam’s marriage is in a bit of a rut, and handsome stranger Dan has her wondering if the grass might be greener …
Louise
is the life and soul of every party, but she’s hiding a broken heart, and worries about her beautiful but secretive daughter Charley. All she wants is someone to love – but could Mr Right be just around the corner?
Just when Sam and Louise need each other most, they suddenly have reason to wonder whether they ever really knew each other at all. Can the two best friends put the past behind them, and help each other find love and happiness again?
An emotional and uplifting tale of love, secrets and the importance of having a best friend.

‘I was
well and truly hooked
.’
By The Letter Book Reviews
‘
Chick-lit at its fabulous best – uplifting and funny yet emotional and utterly compelling. I read this from cover to cover in one sitting
, without realising how much time had passed, I was completely oblivious to anything but this story.’

‘
Tugged at my heart strings
… You know those rides at places like Alton Towers where you are strapped in and slowly pulled to the top … waiting for that big drop … and when it comes …
Bloody Hell it is exhilarating!
THAT IS THIS BOOK!
I totally devoured each page … I highly recommend Marcie Steele and this book as it was brilliant!
