The House Share

Book excerpt: Bridgewater House was once a renowned stately home before the youngest lord fell on hard times. Now it's opening its doors to welcome tenants into each of its freshly converted apartments. Newlywed Marcie can't wait to set up house with her new husband. But between juggling her PhD thesis and being a stepmum to two children who want nothing to do with her, she's got her hands full. Louise never thought she'd find herself single again after her marriage unexpectedly ends. Now, for the first time in twenty years, she's moving into her own place and having to go it alone. Legendary actress Mollie de May might appear tough as nails on camera, but off-screen, she's mourning the loss of her dear husband. Unable to bear the thought of living on her own, she hopes moving to a shared residence will offer her the comfort she seeks. Lord Roddy Pearmain is having the worst year. Not only has he lost his wife and kids in a messy divorce, but now he must reside in a humble flat within the very estate he once expected to inherit. One home. Four residents each living with a secret. But nothing ever stays hidden from neighbours for long... An utterly heart-warming and feel-good page-turner that finds people from different walks of life unexpectedly thrown together under one roof. Fans of Fiona Gibson, Carmen Reid and Tracy Bloom will find themselves hooked from start to finish.
