From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward comes a new, STANDALONE novel…

Don’t say her name.
That was the one rule my bandmates followed, because they knew how much it messed me up to think about her, especially on tour.
My ex, Nicole.
The one who got away and the woman who still owned every piece of my heart.
After our divorce, I threw myself into the rock scene, trying to forget my heartbreak.
Three years after we split, a phone call from Nicole changed everything.
She told me her grandmother wasn’t doing well.
Mimi was still family to me, and she apparently had one wish before dying: to spend time with us—Nicole and me.
With Mimi’s caretaker away on vacation, it would be the ideal time for us to move in with her for a couple of weeks.
Of course, I couldn’t refuse.
But there was a catch.
Nicole apparently never told her that we’d gotten a divorce.
She hadn’t believed Mimi could handle it, because her grandmother loved me so much.
So, not only would I have to see Nicole again, but I’d be pretending to still be her husband.
Two weeks in a tiny house in a small town with the woman who broke my heart. Or was it me who broke hers?
It was complicated.
And it was about to be a heck of a lot more complicated sharing one bed in the guest room with a woman who wasn’t mine anymore.

Penelope Pawn had an addiction. She liked candy, sword-fighting shadows, and boys. Still, something was seriously wrong and she couldn’t put her finger on it. Being homeless wasn’t as bad for her as it was for most. She had a way of collecting kids that turned into family, like brothers and sisters. Unfortunately, every time another kid agreed to come with her to the hiding place she’d created, a rush of power would surge through her like she’d consumed a drug, sealed a deal, or done something wrong. There was one guy, though, who wouldn’t come. When Terek showed up at her doorstep, a place well hidden from most others, and demanded she heed his warning, it was the first time she feared an enemy's strength. Was he a challenge that could become her savior, revealing the truth of her past to her? Could this boy show her how to repair the fiber of the world she’d unknowingly ripped apart, causing a catastrophic end to the home she’d built for herself and the lost ones?

#BookReview: Grow Your Own Food, Lady Muck Style by Catherine Saunders



"This gloriously funny book is the perfect read for a cold winter’s evening!"

★ Packed with solid growing tips and advice - plus hilarious, relatable moments for beginners and expert gardeners alike - you will love this beautifully illustrated book.

★ This isn’t just a gardening book. It’s an inspiring story and celebration of resilience. Catherine got into growing her own food as a therapy after severe illness left her disabled for many years. However, with the help of her family, she started to recover and turned to gardening - finding strength, joy and purpose in nurturing plants. And it was fun.

★ Lady Muck is the lovable gardening character she created to share that fun. To show that growing food doesn’t have to be difficult or dull - especially when you grow the ingredients to make your own cocktails - and to share her love and knowledge of all things green with others.

What You’ll Find 20 chapters of funny gardening stories featuring Lady Muck, her digger in crime, Lord Muck, and other entertaining characters. Each chapter contains story-specific, tried-and-tested advice to show you how to grow edible plants in the space you have available – from gardens, balconies, backyards and allotments to patios, windowsills and containers. From vegetables and herbs to fruits and microgreens! Readers’ favourites 

♥ Home Alone ♥ With fun-loving Lady Muck as your gardening guide, you’ll discover how to create your own cocktail herb bar and botanical gin garden for the complete happy hour experience! Enjoy reading about the garden party Lady Muck threw to test those home-grown, herb-infused cocktails...

♥ We Are Not Amused ♥ It all started with the broad beans going on strike after being taunted by the skinny leeks. Dissent then swiftly spread to Lady Muck’s old English apple tree which refused to grow near the French beans. So, if you want to avoid calling in a veggie dispute expert, discover the wonders of crop rotation and companion planting to keep your plants and soil healthy year after year.

♥ Mini Mucks ♥ Discover how to get kids involved in gardening, Lady Muck Style. Have a fun afternoon planting strawberries for jam, or put together some grow-your-own tomato pasta pots. However, watch out for young Finn emptying a jar of strawberry jam straight into a plant pot in an attempt to cut out the middle man! Well, he always was a smart cookie.

♥ Juice Fest ♥ Grow juicing staples such as parsley, mint, carrots, beetroots, cucumbers, kale, and spinach - so, if you ever have to shadow your kids for three days at the Isle of Wight Festival - wearing a wig, a trilby, a pair of Jackie O Ray-Bans to avoid being spotted, you will have a detox garden ready when you get home!

★ Plus check out the other books in the Lady Muck Style Series - a beautiful Gardening Planner & Journal and a super Gardener's Big Puzzle Book - Ideal gardening gifts for all occasions - birthdays, Christmas, anniversaries, Mother's day, Father's day, Christmas stocking fillers.
