Contemporary female fiction that makes one reliable promise: you end up somewhere sunlit with a love story worth following. Jill Mansell, Phillipa Ashley, Jenny Colgan and Holly Martin each bring a strong sense of place to their fiction - coastal, warm and inviting. Each knows that the best romantic storylines turn on timing, missed chances and the particular courage it takes to want something again. This is the kind of reading that asks very little of you and gives back considerably more. Relax and enjoy.

Jill Mansell, 'And Now You're Back' - First love returns, older and harder to ignore. Old feelings, fresh chaos and unfinished business.

Phillipa Ashley, 'Wish You Were Here' - The man who vanished after Corsica is back but Beth needs answers before she can risk her heart again.

Jenny Colgan, 'The Summer Skies' - A pilot, a storm, a Scottish island and an ornithologist she wasn't expecting. Colgan at her warmest.

Holly Martin, 'The Cottage on Sunshine Beach' - Melody knows Jamie is the one but getting him to see it is another matter entirely.
