The Riviera — Karen Aldous

The journey is only as good as its end…

It's been a hard journey, but Lizzie Lambert's life is a Provençal dream come true. Her business is wildly successful, and with her little boy and the love of her life, Cal, she is making a beautiful home on the vineyard for their blended family.

But when Cal goes to America to support his son through a teenage crisis, it becomes clear the kid's not the only one with some growing up to do: Cal's glamorous ex-wife wants to get her claws in him again. As Cal spends longer and longer away, Lizzie wonders, was it all too good to be true?

Escape to Provence with Karen Aldous' The Riviera, the perfect read for an idyllic summer.

About the author

Karen Aldous enjoys village life on the edge of the north-downs in Kent with easy access to the buzz of London. Not only does she love the passive pleasures of reading and writing but craves the more active pursuits, walking, cycling and skiing especially when they involve family, friends, food, and…wine!

Much of Karen's inspiration comes from her travels. The UK, France, Switzerland and USA are just some you'll be transported to in her books, but wherever she goes, new characters invite themselves into 'Karen's World' screaming at her to tell their stories; strong independent women who are capable of directing their own lives �" but struggle to control them…especially when temptation strikes!

As a member of the Romantic Novelists' Association and The Write Place, Karen feels she owes so much of her success to the love and support of her fellow writers
