When Craig Wells is killed in a car accident, the repercussions are greater than anyone had expected. His young mistress is pregnant and he’s left everything to her. His neglected wife Laura has not only lost a lot of the money she felt entitled to, but her confidence has slipped as well. Her son Ryan is in love with the wrong woman, and her grieving daughter is on the verge of anorexia.

Anna Jacobs' characters are a delight, standing vividly out from the page, and her tales are hard to put down.

The Wishing Well
Laura hears that her mother is ill, sells up and goes to England to help her father. There, she gradually finds her confidence again and gets a job as a housekeeper to Kit Mallinder, a well-known foreign correspondent who’s recovering from a serious accident. She’s very attracted to him, but he’s several years younger than she is and will surely want a family of his own one day?

A major crisis brings the whole family together again in England and forces them to resolve their differences. Will Laura be able to forgive her son and get close to the daughter, who resents her new relationship with Kit. And dare she trust her growing feelings for Kit?
