The Mermaid (Avonstow Book 2) Kindle Edition
Headstrong. Impetuous. Brave. Frankie has been called all of them. Her loved ones are doing their bit for the war effort and she is determined not to be left behind. Then she meets Mac and everything changes.
But war has a habit of interfering with the best-laid plans and Frankie finds herself caught in a dangerous game where the stakes are high.
2017
There are secrets in Hannah’s life that she cannot bring herself to share with anyone, but no matter how deeply they are buried, they always find a way to resurface.
Avonstow is united in trying to save their Lido from closure, but will Hannah find her place in the quiet community or will she once again have to run from the mistakes of her past?
As Frankie begins to share the untold story of her wartime exploits, there are lessons Hannah can learn.
But perhaps some things are best left alone.
