There’s Sebastien and Klaus, recluse Rowena who has never been seen, and Saffron and Velda, a niece and aunt. Caro begins to make friends with her new neighbours, and finds that some of her old neighbours from Churchminster are closer than she thinks. Caro is happy at last, but another bump in the road is yet to come…

Fiona O’Brien is a great author who I recently discovered when I read her novel None of My Affair a few months ago. It was a fabulous read, and she has another book up for pre-order on Amazon already. Without Him is due out 3rd June 2010 so there’s a bit of a wait for it, but if it’s as good as her others, it will be worth the wait! I’ll post the cover when it’s available but for now here’s the synopsis:

“One moment, Shelley has everything - three beautiful children, an adoring property magnate husband, and the life of her dreams.
Then Charlie’s business empire crashes and he vanishes. The money’s gone and so is Shelley’s wonderful life. While their privileged daughters Olivia and Emma have to come to terms with being broke, eleven year old Mac is devastated without his Dad.

When Charlie’s estranged mother, Vera opens her doors to the broken family, secrets emerge that reveal there was more to Charlie than meets the eye. But Charlie’s shell shocked family aren’t the only ones asking questions . . .

Why is enigmatic Russian billionaire Lukaz Mihailov so keen to talk to Charlie?

Will blood always prove thicker than water. Maybe Charlie’s family are better off without him . . .”
