Exiles

Is Kate's French home a haven or an ivory tower for the outside world to shatter?

Bestseller Anita Burgh returns to a contemporary setting to continue the story of Kate Howard, the warm and engaging writer heroine of 'Advances'.

Kate is no longer a struggling author. Far from it, she leads a charmed life with her lover Stewart and her daughter Lucy in an old farmhouse in the beautiful, wild Auvergne region of central France. When her son announces that he too intends to move to France, it would seem that life for Kate could not be sweeter.

Then comes a bolt from the blue, a phone call from Kate's literary agent in London that threatens her whole way of life. And worse is to come with the arrival of newcomers Mo and Tristram. Mo is a striking beauty and charming - when it suits her. And, as Kate discovers, she's one of those people who brings chaos to other people's lives . . .
